The CRC program is dedicated to original, creative, cultural writing; the arts and books and popular culture. CRC students are trained to write in a variety of formats, including the cultural essay, the personal essay, the profile, the review, the long-form narrative, the sharp, stylish opinion piece, and the blog post. Graduates have gone on to work as writers, critics, or editors for a bevvy of publications, including, currently, the New York Times, the New Yorker, the New Republic, ArtForum, The New York Review of Books, The Paris Review, the Los Angeles Times, the Daily News, Slate, Fader, Entertainment Weekly, Spin, and The Wall Street Journal, among other places.

This program addresses the practice of politics in the ‘real-world’, in which every political choice is simultaneously an economic act, and every economic decision has indelible political consequences.
