University of Idaho - MFA in Creative Writing Posted on April 23rd
The University of Idaho offers a BA in English, with an emphasis in creative writing, as well as the Master of Fine Arts. UI’s MFA program is an intense, three-year course of study that focuses on teaching, and learning, the craft of writing. Students may specialize in poetry, fiction, or nonfiction, but we actively encourage students to cross-pollinate, to work and study outside their usual area of emphasis. Our teachers are themselves practicing, publishing writers. Teaching assistantships, as well as fellowships, are available to the most qualified applicants.
There are seven members of the creative writing faculty. .
In addition to its degree programs, Creative Writing sponsors a series of literary readings throughout the school year, including readings by Distinguished Visiting Writers, who visit the campus for a week and teach a graduate class.
