English majors who wish to specialize in the writing of fiction or poetry may, in the winter term of their junior year, apply to the Creative Writing Sub-concentration, which is an optional path to a B.A. degree in English. Students in the program take two upper-level creative writing workshops (English 323/324 and English 423/424), meet together weekly throughout their senior year, and, in their last term, compile a major manuscript of fiction or poetry while working closely with the creative writing faculty in a tutorial reserved for sub-concentrators (English 428); this program is small and selective.

Come learn about GLACE before the February 21 Application Deadline!

GLACE (Great Lakes Arts, Cultures, and Environments) is a new, interdisciplinary humanities program held in Northern Michigan during the Spring half-term. UM faculty and other instructors teach four interconnected, two-credit courses: two in English, one in Anthropology, and one in American Culture.

The program takes place at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS), a research campus situated on Douglas Lake, amid 10,000 undeveloped acres in Pellston, Michigan. From May 11-June 13, 2020, a small cohort of students will work closely with four faculty exploring such concepts as “place,” “natural history,” and “cultural identity” through an engagement not only with literary and other texts but also, in hands-on ways, with the local landscape and its inhabitants, ecologies, and histories.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Global and Intercultural Study

Study abroad is not just for juniors. It's not just for language and international studies majors. It's not just for students from certain communities or socioeconomic backgrounds. No matter who you are, where you come from, or what you’re studying, a study abroad experience is available to you during your time at Michigan.

Whether you want to develop the skills you’ll need to compete in a global economy, cultivate your language competencies, or build meaningful connections with people from around the world, this is the best time in your life for a global experience.

Studying abroad often proves to be a pivotal experience, but deciding which program is the best fit can be daunting as you consider questions such as: How will this enhance my course of study? When should I go? For how long? Where? Can I afford it? How do I prepare? Will my credits transfer? The CGIS Study Abroad Virtual Fair is the best time to get all of your questions answered!

During the day of the virtual fair, you'll have instant access to academic advisors, education abroad advisors, Office of Financial Aid & LSA Scholarship Office representatives, and program representatives as well as scheduled events throughout the fair!
