No matter how fast technology changes and advances, the importance of words and the power of writing will always be needed. Employers have told us they need people who know how to write. That's why Onondaga Community College developed a Creative Writing degree program in time for the 2020-2021 academic year. The skills students learn will put them on the path to a rewarding career in marketing, public relations, or even computer and video game programming.
Students enrolled in our Creative Writing degree program will be connected with internship opportunities through our Career Center. In their final semester our faculty will help students create a publishable portfolio to highlight all of their outstanding work. And we've created seamless transfer pathways to SUNY Potsdam, SUNY Oswego, and Le Moyne College so students can enroll with junior status.
In this edition of our "Chatting About College" we meet Professors Christian Heisler and Patrick Snow who developed OCC's Creative Writing degree program. Enjoy!
