Directed Studies Minor at the Peabody Institute?

I was accepted to the BM Performance (Guitar) program as well as the Directed Studies Minor program for the class of 2024. Is there anyone here who is in or knows someone who has experience with the DS minor that could give me some tips on what it’s like? I talked with my professor and asked him if he had any students that were in it and he said he’d never heard of the program (which makes sense because it just started last year).

For some additional background, I’m hoping to do as much writing coursework as possible in DS (I want to be a novelist one day). So any info regarding the English/Writing Seminar departments would be nice too.
