Creative Writing Program

Welcome!

Through a diverse offering of faculty, courses, visiting writers, interdisciplinary projects, writing prizes, publishing internships, student readings, and a unique commitment to the generative interrelationship between literary study and literary production, the Creative Writing Program is dedicated to enhancing our students' creative, literary, and professional lives.

New initiatives include the Summer Seminars in Greece Program, serving undergraduate and graduate students from our program and other national creative writing programs.

The Creative Writing Program is the 2001 recipient of the University's Outstanding Contributions to Graduate Education Award.
