Oregon State University offers a variety of English degrees, including an English major, a new Creative Writing major, an English minor, a Writing minor, a Film minor, a minor in Applied Journalism, a fully-funded MA in English (with concentrations in literature and culture; rhetoric, writing, and culture; or film and visual studies) and a high-residency, fully-funded MFA in Creative Writing (fiction, poetry, non-fiction). A low-residency MFA Program in creative writing is offered through the OSU Cascades Campus in Bend.
These degrees testify to the enduring importance of creative storytelling and clear thinking in our increasingly complex, increasingly digital, and increasingly challenging twenty-first century environment. Students will leave our programs not only with skills suitable for a variety of careers and professions but also with a deeper knowledge of their own values and the traditions that shape them.
