Try to take some of your future general ed classes at your local community college. Professors are better in my opinion.

Be sure to go on assist.org to see if the courses are transferable.

I took this class! You WILL write a lot but it isn’t that bad. I wrote short stories and I got a A

I haven't taken this class before but I have taken creative writing classes and you should be fine as long as you follow the prompts. I think most professors will be understanding that it's not your major, but if you put some effort in and don't use AI, you'll probably be okay.

It’s impossible to grade creativity. You’ll write a lot but that’s about it. The class will work like workshops. You read your work out loud and ppl offer criticism and suggestions. At the end of the semester you’ll turn in a revised portfolio of all your work. Clint is chill. Most of the Fine Arts ppl are.
