What courses should I take in college to further my writing abilities?

Question

I am currently a devoted writer of fictional stories and movie scripts, but I want to continue that in college. What courses are good to take? I do not wish to gain a career from it, but just to further my skills. Any advice? Thanks.

Answer 1

Easiest thing to do is look up english classes, but the best way to further writing abilities is to read. Many different courses give writing credit, but the ones that really help with writing are probably english composition and creative writing courses.

Answer 2

I was a psychology major. I never learned how to cure crazy people, but consider what psychology majors do--they read and write. I arrived in college with what amounted to a sixth grade education, and left a skilled writer.

Answer 3

There are many majors in which you can get skills in writing. To name a few: history, english, political science, basically any liberal arts, and of course probably the best communications.

Answer 4

Well the obvious choice would be English courses, in particular those having to do with composition and with creative writing. Beyond that any writing-intensive disciplines such as History.
