WELCOME

Welcome to the University of Oregon's Creative Writing Program website. We are a dynamic program of six regular faculty members, occasional visiting faculty, 25 MFA students, dozens of undergraduates, and a large extended community of alumni and friends. You can read about all of them here.

Students in our MFA Program work intensively with our faculty, in regular individual tutorials and in small workshops. The Oregon MFA privileges the workshop, integrating concentrated time for writing with craft seminars and reading tutorials. You'll hear our program is not for the faint of heart. It isn't—and we're proud of that. We hope to offer our students the rigorous apprenticeship we undertook with our own teachers.

Our undergraduate curriculum offers introductory, intermediate, and advanced writing courses in fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. A highlight of our undergraduate offerings is the Kidd Tutorial Program, a yearlong, intensive writing course for the most competitive young writers.
