Program Overview

As the only degree in B.C. integrating the study of literature and creative writing in one standalone program, the Bachelor of Arts Degree in Writing & Literature at Capilano University is the place for blossoming writers.


In the program, you’ll apply your love of writing and literature to a range of creative and academic contexts, learn in small, engaging seminar classes from experienced faculty and gain the writing and research skills for various exciting careers.


This four-year bachelor's degree offers two concentrations: Critical and Creative Writing and Literature and Culture. You'll choose your concentration by filling out the Concentration Declaration Form (pdf) in your first year. Both share a foundation of high-impact, immersive coursework and applied, experiential elements, including work-integrated learning opportunities.


In the writing concentration, you'll have course options in children's literature, screenwriting, poetry and creative nonfiction. On the literature side, you can delve into topics including Indigenous literature and film, Canadian and world literature, literature and the environment and literature in media and performance.


Students in both concentrations will also have the occasion each year to learn from an Indigenous writer in residence, gaining insight into some of the critical and creative decolonial practices Indigenous writers use in their work.


You'll graduate as a stronger writer and researcher with a wealth of new ways to present ideas and tell stories, with training in cross-genre, creative, multi-modal and web-based forms of writing as well as in literary history and culture.
