Literature, Media & Writing Department

Hartwick English students learn to think critically and creatively about a broad range of literature and to express these ideas in clear and powerful prose. Creative writing students learn to apply such literary knowledge to the art and craft of writing fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. Above all, Hartwick English prepares graduates for fields of endeavor in which critical thinking, creativity, and effective writing will be essential skills throughout their lifetimes.

Please note: Hartwick College focuses on offering fall, January, and spring term undergraduate courses in person, however circumstances may require us to offer a small number of courses in this department through distance education. In times of emergency, following regulatory guidelines, all classes may temporarily need to be delivered through distance education, including online. We also offer a slate of courses online in the summer to help our students make progress towards their degrees. With support from an academic advisor, students needing particular courses may have other online options as well. If you have questions about the way courses are delivered in your program, please contact your Department or Program Chair.
