At Loyola, you will find a broad array of writing courses and thoroughly dedicated writing professors. Loyola's writing department offers a major and minor, or, students can pursue an interdisciplinary writing major, combining their writing major with another major such as biology, English, or political science.

The department also offers numerous opportunities to develop your writing abilities. Our department sponsors two literary magazines: The Forum, for essays and art work, and The Garland for poetry, stories, and art work. These are student-run magazines that publish top-quality issues every year. We also have a writer-in-residence who works to connect students to publication, reading, and award opportuities and an internship coordinator to help you find great writing-related apprenticeships at local publications and organizations.
