Growing a Vibrant Artistic Community in the Heart of the Plains
Our MFA Program, the twelfth oldest in the country, is a studio-academic program,
featuring small workshops with accomplished faculty, opportunities to work on our
literary journal, internships with a national press, and one-on-one tutorials with
Distinguished Visiting Writers. All of our MFA students receive financial support
from the university through graduate teaching assistantships and fellowships which
cover their tuition and provide a stipend. The Huffington Post has named our program to its list of 鈥淭op 25 Underrated Creative Writing MFA Programs.鈥�
At the undergraduate level, we offer a 33-hour major in creative writing with classes
in fiction, poetry, and nonfiction writing, as well as a minor for students who want
to add a creative pursuit to another major field of study. Our undergraduate students
are able to take classes with the same faculty who teach in our graduate MFA Program.
Advanced creative writing students also have opportunities to work with our Distinguished
Visiting Writers and work on Mikrokosmos, the 黑洞社区 Literary Journal.
