Creative Writing
Master of Arts in Creative Writing
The Creative Writing Concentration in English at The University of Texas at Austin offers two-year Master of Arts degrees in poetry and fiction. Our program is complemented by a nationally-renowned department of literature, the UT English Department, and one of the world's largest archives for twentieth-century literature, the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center.At UT Austin, original home of the National Translation Center and one of the most important cross-cultural institutions in the country, we recognize that "English" literature is an international phenomenon and not merely a result of Anglo-American practices. The UT Creative Writing Concentration is dedicated to that vision and offers semester-long workshops taught by writers from around the world.
The UT English Department is home to a distinguished group of fiction writers and poets. Current permanent faculty in fiction includes Michael Adams, Oscar Casares, Laura Furman, Zulfikar Ghose, Elizabeth Harris, Rolando Hinojosa-Smith, Peter LaSalle, and James Magnuson. Our permanent poetry faculty includes Kurt Heinzelman, Judith Kroll, Van Jordan, David Wevill, and Thomas Whitbread.
