UNO's commitment to the teaching of creative writing
is evidenced by the number and diversity of writing programs available.
Whether you're looking for an MFA degree or a stimulating workshop experience
online or in Europe, one of our programs will be a fit for you. Our dedicated
faculty can help you find your style and voice, or they can assist as
you put the finishing touches on your novel before sending it to the
publisher.
The Creative Writing
Workshop
is our resident MFA program and the campus mainstay. Writing workshops
and literature classes are combined in a curriculum designed to enhance
both writing and critical reading skills in the genres of fiction,
poetry, nonfiction, playwriting, or screenwriting. Our excellent faculty
have guided students to fruitful careers in publishing and teaching.
Teaching assistantships and other forms of financial aid are available. Click

The Low Residency MFA program offers
flexible opportunities for students who are not able to come to the New
Orleans campus, who have already begun their careers and need a schedule
that accommodates their work schedule, who travel widely or live abroad,
or who simply prefer the flexibility of a low residency program. Our innovative
curriculum includes online classes in the Fall and Spring semesters and
summer residencies in our summer programs
in Europe.
Our famous
summer programs in Europe are open to both resident and low residency students, as
well as guest students and non-credit participants. Since 1998, more than
800 students and 200 faculty and guests have participated in these programs.
Whether you attend the Madrid Summer
Seminars, the Writing
Workshops in Montpellier, or the Ezra
Pound Center for Literature at Brunnenburg Castle in Italy, you will
have a summer you will never forget.
We also sponsor a yearly Writing
Contest for Study Abroad. One writer each in the genres of poetry,
fiction, nonfiction, playwriting, and screenwriting, are selected in a
competition to attend any of our programs in Europe absolutely free. Click
