Semester by the Sea: Southampton Arts

Schedule

Dates for Fall 2013: September 10 – November 24

Courses in the Semester By The Sea program are scheduled to help you see a project through to completion. Classes are held Monday through Saturday, with field trips on Sunday afternoons. Initially, your introductory creative writing workshop and first literature class will meet frequently and intensively. Then the advanced writing workshop and your second literature class take over. By the end, the final project studio/lab kicks in and you will be working nearly full time on your project.
