Creative Writing Program

The Creative Writing Program at UIC offers a set of courses for students who wish to practice writing as a art and a craft, providing a complement to UIC’s rigorous coursework in expository writing. Students will engage in and be inspired by works of literature from all cultures and of all time periods from ancient to contemporary, all which will set the ground for themselves to explore the traditional and experimental forms in their own fiction, poetry, non-fiction, plays, screenplays, manga and literary translation. In addition to the general course offerings, students can also take part in various extracurricular creative writing activities, such as Yonsei University’s Academy of American Poets College Prize and The Lab, a creative writing publication produced by the UIC Arts club, CATS.

Students who complete the required number of courses and submit a final manuscript are eligible to obtain UIC’s Creative Writing Certificate. Students in their final year may choose a faculty member of their choice to work on a creative writing senior thesis.

Attaining a Creative Writing Certificate will enhance the resumes of UIC graduates who wish to pursue graduate studies in MFA programs or programs in literature and the humanities. In addition to drawing attention to UIC’s strengths in the liberal arts and its status as one of the very few institutions in Asia to offer creative writing courses, students from majors outside the Humanities will benefit by demonstrating evidence of wider intellectual and artistic interests than their counterparts from other institutions.

Students may earn a creative writing certificate by satisfying the following requirements:

1. Achieving a minimum B average in four creative writing courses, which include the following genres and areas:

Poetry, fiction, non-fiction (nature writing & memoir), literary translation, and play and screenwriting. Of the four courses required for the certificate, students must complete one course in poetry, one in fiction, and one selected from the remaining three areas (either non-fiction or literary translation or play and screenwriting), while the forth course can be from any area. A maximum of two 2000-level (or lower) creative writing courses may count toward the certificate.

2. Submitting a manuscript/portfolio for evaluation according to the following approximate guidelines:

• poetry: 30 pages (collection)
• fiction: 50 pages (novella, multiple short stories, or novel excerpt) 
• non-fiction: 50 pages (essay or series of essays, book excerpt) 
• literary translation: poetry (50 pages), short stories, novella, novel excerpt (100 pages) 
• play/screenplay: 60-90 pages (series of plays, full play, full 30-minute screenplay for television, complete act of a play or feature-length film) 

3. Submitting a formal application prior to the start of the student’s last semester.

• Curriculum List of Curriculum --> The educational objective of the School of Drama is to nurture “creators” who can lead the Korean and global theatrical artistic space and embody the School’s central premise of “drama as a starting point and completion of all kinds of performing arts”, rather than a conventional or staid notion. The curriculum focuses primarily on practical courses and experimentation with convergence into performance. For the undergraduate program, the first- and second-year curricula focus on core aspects of art education, humanities and introduction to drama, while the third- and fourth-year curricula focus on intensive courses for each major, encouraging students to take interdisciplinary courses with other fields of art, such as music, dance, visual and traditional art, and film. The graduate program focuses on student creation and experimentation to help students develop their own independent world of art as “creators”

Humanism is the study of the knowledge and wisdom necessary to build a better society based on passion for humanity and culture. Culture is like a flower blooming upon humanity and the College of Humanities is a learning organization to study humanity in a broad sense. Culture created by knowledge and information is the core code of 21st century society. While culture up to this point has been enjoyed as leisure, culture in modern society has become both a product and an asset. The cultural industry era has finally arrived.

In the College of Humanities, we cultivate the talent that will lead the globalization of Korean Studies as well as the development of our national culture based on Korea University's national school tradition and the accumulated experience of the Sejong Campus for the last 25 years. We also work hard to develop unique cultural content necessary for our times. Toward that end, we are strengthening foreign language education, and at the same time, diversifying our liberal arts courses opening major courses more widely so that each student can choose programs that meet his or her needs.

Graduates of the College of Humanities are valued for their ability in various fields such as communication, research, and business enterprises. Their desirability derives not simply from Korea University's reputation but rather from the combination of its distinguished faculty, of which the College of Humanities is proud, student passion toward liberty, justice, and truth, and strong trust and compassion between faculty and students. All of the above are integrated in the cultivation of talent. The College of Humanities will not rest with today's accolades and accomplishments, it will work harder for the globalization of Korean culture and the localization of global culture.

Entering the new century, international society needs a common language now more than ever. International relations, active cultural exchange, and economic development have transformed English, the most widely used regional, language into a global language.

Currently, graduates of the Department of English Language and Literature perform brilliantly in various fields. A significant number go on to graduate schools in English and other disciplines. This trend is very important for the academic development of the Department of English Language and Literature and a smooth interchange between members.

The Department of Archaeology and Art History is a department dedicated to researching and studying archaeology and art history. Archaeology is the study of ancient human culture and its development. As such, it is complementary to the field of history in the sense that archaeologists investigate and research human existence through remains and artifacts. Archaeology and art history also overlap in that both rely on the study of artifacts from the past, and they developed in close relationship during the process of their mutual development as modern fields of research.

The Department of Archaeology and Art History, established in 1988, emphasizes fundamental research methods, a broad knowledge base, and practical archaeology and art history education. Moreover, it nurtures the talent that will lead the future research of Korean archaeology and art history. Archaeology and art history are fields that do not only research the extinct past but also survey the present and future through the restoration of human footprints, for example.

The archaeology wing of the department searches far and wide for innovative archaeological research both domestically and internationally including archaeological theory and research history to give its students a leading edge. Art history offers various classes for students to experience new research methods by introducing a broad background of world art history as well as Korean art history. In addition, the Department of Archaeology and Art History promotes various academic activities, including regular spring and fall field surveys, regular invitational academic lecture series and an archaeology field training program held in Fukuoka, Japan every summer vacation.

The Department of Archaeology and Art History boasts a distinguished faculty, equipped with both theory and practical knowledge that provide the best education for future experts in related fields, and maintain a close relationship with each student. In addition, the department has its own multimedia classroom and operating system that parallels field surveys and excavation practices.

In addition, graduates often go on to graduate school to continue their studies in archaeology, art history, and folklore and often enter academia or related organizations. Still others become museum or art gallery curators.

The most formidable and greatest task of the Korean people is the reunification of South and North. However, actual research of NorthKorea is minimal compared to its importance. The department established in 1997 to address this dearth aims to cultivate experts on North Korea and reunification issues by instilling a formal understanding and knowledge about North Korea in the young generation that will play a reading role in reunification.

In the department, distinguished domestic and international faculty convey the fundamentals of North Korean politics, economics, society, and culture to nurture experts for national reunification. In addition, it endeavors to incorporate academic theory of more inclusive fields including North Korean art, education, defense, and foreign relations, thereby superceding mere regional research to infuse a firm academic foundation. As a result, North Korea Studies is now considered a program that approaches reunification issues within the context of global human history.

The Department of North Korea Studies, in researching North Korea, not only emphasizes research areas such as politics and economics but also strengthens research in other areas such as society, culture, and arts in order to nurture specialized experts. In addition, it strives to create a subjugation theory on the basis of thorough theoretical research on the Juche Ideology of Kim Il Sung and the Revolutionary Tradition through analysis and critique.

By approaching the reunification issues of the Korean Peninsular, which our people must solve, through a comprehensive academic perspective based on research, the department educates both experts with a firm understanding of North Korea and reunification, and nurtures talent with academic inquiry and a practical sense of duty toward national reunification.

The North Korea Studies Department hosts seminars centered on pending political questions including reunification policies, regional circumstances surrounding the Korean Peninsular, and reunification scenarios and field research. Lectures that raise the understanding of North Korean society as a whole include intensive research on Kim Il Sung and Kim Jung Il and North Korean politics, economics, foreign relations, military, education, social culture, religion, media, and literature. Such classes and seminars develop new theories and methodologies dealing with the particularity of North Korea and the relationship between South Korea and North Korea invokinge existing theory and analytical methods from the humanities and social sciences with the particularity of North Korea and the relationship between the South and the North.

The North Korea Studies major has the political objective of studying the local characteristics of North Korea as well as developing practical experts who will manage both the South-North relationship and national task of reunification. Career opportunities after graduation include the national civil service such as the Ministry of National Reunification and various research organizations related to reunification. Moreover, local enterprises, seeking to take advantage of the South-North Korean economic and social cultural exchange and cooperation policies, need experts with thorough knowledge of North Korean issues. As a result, career opportunities abound for those who demonstrate ability and promise, especially since it is a newly explored research field.

The graduates of the Department of North Korea Studies, as experts on North Korea research and reunification preparation, can serve as specialized agents in government organizations such as the Ministry of National Reunification, the National Intelligence Services, the armed Forces, and the police, Also, they can work as researchers in related special research organizations, or enter academia or educational organizations. They also can work for civil enterprises pursuing the South and the North exchange and cooperation projects, civil organizations or operate North Korea related venture enterprises.

Literature is an alternative form of history of the human race. The Department of Media Creative Writing prepares writers to contribute to the literature, the new unfolding of culture and to have universal training. The department views literature as both an academic subject and as a creative art.

The Department of Media Creative Writing was established in 1998 to reform the education approach of the existing Department of Media Creative Writing which previously emphasized selecting and training literary students through a solely practical curriculum. The department now seeks to expand the creativity and enjoyment of literature and culture by developing a deeper perspective that fosters observation and analysis based on a proper creative education. The department provides theories of creation and critique with a balanced approach toward language, philosophy, history, aesthetics, and social grounding about the literary arts and practice courses.

In addition, based on its disciplinary and inclusive characteristics, it supports the study of the literary theory of the East and West and creative skills in neighboring departments, Likewise, it helps students to develop creatively through practice-oriented creation, seminar-type critiques and discussions with invited guest speakers currently working in the literary field. Beyond the classroom, students participate in creative and critical activities.

Unlike other literary departments, which emphasize practical training only, this department strives to acculturate writers and poets through language, history, aesthetics, and social capabilities about the literary arts. To that end, we invite lectures from neighboring departments on literary theories of East and West and offer intensive practice and seminar classes taught by professors who are active poets, writers, and critics. Integrated classes between wide seminars and academic disciplines inspire students to write excellent works by enabling them to understand society and culture and recognize relationships between the humanities and literature.

This department centered on creation and critique not only produces poets, novelists, play writers, and dramatists but also produces human resource workers in fields such as the visual media, press, and advertisement.

The third sphere of the world is China. Currently China is rapidly growing and showing its intention to develop its sphere not only in a territorial sense, but also in culture and economics. Since Korea and China, have an amiable, active personnel interchange in various, fields, the demand for experts is growing daily. To meet this trend, Korea University expanded the Department of Chinese Language and Literature, to form the Division of Chinese Studies in 2005. This department was created to search for and cultivate distinguished talent in Chinese language, Chinese culture, and Chinese literature. The university strengthened the specialty and distinction of the department even more by inducing a more intensive education system. In this department, we offer many courses to instill a fundamental grounding in Chinese language and culture in a deepened multi-faceted fashion. In addition to perfecting student use of the Chinese language, the school invites one Chinese professor annually, and through lectures taught in native language, works hard to educate students who have capability in theory and practice.

The Division of Chinese Studies is based on the acquisition and use of modern Chinese rooted in a foundation of literature, history, and philosophy. The department emphasizes expert knowledge of all aspects of Chinese culture from ancient to modern. Currently Korea University has established sisterhood relationships with the best Chinese universities including Beijing University, Ryenmin University, Transportation University of Shanghai, Gilim University, and Harbin Institute of Technology. It is pressing ahead with active interchange by building a dormitory in China and offering student interchange programs. Through such programs, students can study at local universities in China and participate in the Chinese Language Training Program (7+1 China Study Abroad Program) held every summer and winter session. Students can both earn academic credit while experiencing local life in China through these programs. The School of China Studies, through intensive studies about Chinese, cultivates the talent that will lead the global era.

Graduating students of the school can go on to various graduate schools of distinguished domestic and international universities or advance to different enterprises, including media and commerce, and devote themselves to the mutual understanding of Korea and China through interchange and cooperation.

SMC students study a wide spectrum of topics related to media and communication, ranging from the production of media contents to distribution and consumption. Online and mobile media, broadcasting, journalism, film, advertising, and public relations are some topics included in the curriculum.

Two keywords define SMC: ‘Creativity’ and ‘Data Science.’ Through an education program including design thinking, writing expression, visual expression, and digital expression, students polish their ability to produce creative contents. In addition, drawing from data scientific modes of inquiry, learning Big Data, Machine Learning, and Programming enables students to collect, analyze, interpret, and create data. With problem-solving tools learned from various courses, students carry out various tasks to solve media and communication issues.

In and outside classrooms SMC students are expected to voice their ideas and opinions and proactively engage in discussions with professors, other students and their peers.

Through this training, SMC students will grow into media and communication experts who can invent their own original contents, disrupt the current media order, and connect various media forms and contents in a new way, thereby making innovations.

Stanford Creative Writing Program

The Stanford Creative Writing Program , founded in 1946 by Wallace Stegner, has become one

of the nation’s most distinguished creative writing institutions. After almost 80 years, the

program continues to evolve while also respecting its original vision of recruiting and supporting

talented writers, offering exceptional creative writing instruction and mentorship, and inspiring

undergraduates to develop their own unique creative written expression.

In the 1940s, E. H. Jones generously created the Wallace Stegner Fellowship, now considered

the most prestigious creative writing fellowship in the U.S. for emerging writers. Dr. Jones also

made possible the Jones Lectureships, which are limited, fixed-year teaching appointments,

allowing exceptional Stegner Fellows some time and support to prepare a manuscript for

publication, hone their teaching skills, and transition to a longer-term teaching career elsewhere.

The original framework of term-limited appointments allowed for a consistent flow of selected

Stegner Fellows into the Jones Lectureship. However, over time this framework of term-limited

appointments was not followed.

In the past two years, the School of Humanities and Sciences leadership and the Creative

Writing Academic Council faculty have been working to formulate necessary changes in the

program and to identify additional resources to meet its growing needs. A Working Group of

Creative Writing Academic Council faculty held listening sessions and discussions.

Now, after thoughtful deliberation, the Working Group has recommended restoring the original

intent of the Jones Lectureships: one-year appointments with the possibility of renewal for a

limited term. This change will again allow Stegner Fellows the opportunity to apply to be Jones

Lecturers once they have completed their fellowships.

The university, school, and numerous generous donors are committed to not only the excellence

of the program but also its growth. This means increasing the number of Creative Writing

classes to better meet high student demand as well as ensuring competitive compensation for

both the lecturers and fellows. We will provide more updates in early fall quarter.

We understand that these changes to the Jones Lectureships will be met with mixed reactions.

However, we firmly believe that the changes advance the program’s pedagogical mission and

provide promising writers with the resources to complete their books and obtain appointments at

other colleges and universities.

Throughout the history of the program, the Jones Lecturers—both those who are here now and

those who have been lecturers in the past—have helped make Stanford Creative Writing what it

is today, and we are truly grateful to them for their significant contributions to the program’s
