OTHER INFORMATION

Admission to Third Year

Students can use their Associate of Arts degree in Creative Writing to apply to Kwantlen's BA program as long as other third year entry requirements are met.

Students who receive an Associate of Arts degree in Creative Writing from Kwantlen will have appropriate course coverage to enter the Creative Writing major program at UBC; however, this does not guarantee a position in the major program because admission in the Department of Creative Writing at UBC is also based on students' portfolios.

The Creative Writing major program at UVic requires an additional two courses in Creative Writing at the 2000 level or higher. Currently, students can fulfill these requirements by completing two of the following three courses at Kwantlen: CRWR 3110, 3120, or 3130. However, completion of these two additional courses does not guarantee a position in the major program because admission in the Department of Creative Writing at the University of Victoria is also based on students' portfolios.

The Creative Writing major program at Vancouver Island University (VIU) requires an additional three courses in Creative Writing at the 1000 or 2000 level or higher.
