The graduate creative writing program has one of the best faculties around and does open certain of its offerings to undergrads. It’s not many courses, of course, because it’s a small faculty and they’re primarily at BU to teach grad students, but Ha Jin’s literature courses are usually open to undergrads, as is Leslie Epstein’s fiction writing class (the latter by application), and a few more.
The English department is really excellent, actually-- kind of a hidden gem among American departments. Try to take classes with James Winn and Susan Mizruchi.
