Study and Practice Narrative Across Media and Genres
Every year, the Stanford Storytelling Project offers courses that help us understand how we can use stories to create personal growth and social change. All of our courses explore both story craft and process and help students develop creative confidence. Most of our courses fulfill undergraduate requirements, such as WAY-CE (Creative Expression), WAY-AII (Aesthetic and Interpretative Inquiry), or WAY-WR2 (Writing 2). Use our menu on the left to explore upcoming and previous courses.
