Online MA in Creative Writing: Bath College of HigherEducation
Classes start October 1996
Bath College of Higher Education of Bath, England and Connected Education are pleased to announce a new mode of delivery for the acclaimed Bath College MA program in Creative Writing: a totally online program of study offered in cooperation with Connected Education. This cooperative venture will bring the prestige of a British academic award directly to the homes and offices of students in North America and all around the world.
The aim of the program is to enable you to become a better writer, and to improve your chances of publishing your work. You'll work in traditional imaginative literary forms -- fiction, play-writing, poetry, script-writing -- and you're encouraged to experiment with language and form to challenge traditional divisions between genres. The emphasis is on helping you to pursue a direction in your writing and to better understand the writing process while developing critical reading skills which aid in a writer's self-evaluation, a necessary part of the writing process.
The online program offers you flexibility -- you can sign on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to read one another's work and post your own. You'll work closely with other students and the outstanding program faculty, who are themselves practicing and published writers, in a unique combination of writing workshop and context modules. The writing workshops teach you the technique of writing, while the context modules introduce you to an area or period of writing which sensitizes you to how writers respond to public issues you may wish to explore in your own work -- such as the environment, women's studies, and Irish studies. Special genres including suspense and mystery writing may also be studied. An intensive creative writing dissertation double module is the culminating project. Each module is four months long.
The schedule for the 1996-1997 academic year is as follows:
Term 1 (October-January)
Term 2 (February-May)
Term 3 (June-September)
Students may choose to pursue the Masters degree full-time (1 year), registering for two modules per four-month term, or part-time (2 years), registering for one module per four-month term. You earn the full Masters of Arts degree upon completion of four modules and the dissertation double module (approximately equivalent to 36 credits). Or you can receive a Postgraduate diploma upon completion of 4 modules (approximately 24 credits) or Postgraduate Certificate after completion of 2 modules (approximately 12 credits).
Tuition fees are 2000 British pounds Sterling per module (approximately 6 credits); the dissertation is a double module and costs 4000 British pounds Sterling. (At present the conversion rate to US dollars is approximately 1.5 US dollars per British pound.) The Connect Ed campus is accessible via Telnet from any Internet provider, including commercial services such as Compuserve. Tuition includes all necessary connect time on Connect Ed campus; there are no additional expenses other than those charged to you by your Internet provider.

(Sylvia Engdahl)
This course examines the emerging mythology of the "Space Age," with
emphasis on its expression in science fiction films and other mass
audience genres. Taking off from the acclaimed video series and book
The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell, we consider the positive
role of myths in individual lives and societies, and we apply this
concept to the worldwide technological society that is emerging in our
era. We compare and contrast traditional myths with the myths
represented in popular science fiction, which in many respects is more
meaningful in today's culture, including specific film and TV classics
like "Star Wars" and "Star Trek."
