Liberal Arts Diploma Selkirk College

Program Description

What defines Selkirk's creative writing program is a community of writers composed of small class sizes and intimate workshops. Gain confidence in communicating one's ideas in a truly magical setting. Imagine sitting by the confluence of the Kootenay and Columbia Rivers to draft a poem, or walking along the Castlegar campus trails - a significant gathering place for Indigenous peoples - to conjure the final scene in your short story. In Nelson, classes are held at the Tenth Street campus, also home to Selkirk's renowned Music and Digital Art programs. Situated in one of the most beautiful regions on earth, Selkirk College offers a safe, peaceful and vibrant sense of place for writers to explore their imaginations in fiction, non-fiction, poetry and drama. Their creative writing classes are fully transferable to universities across Canada. Take the first two years with Selkirk and students will be set for success to complete their third and fourth year of a degree program elsewhere.
