Undergraduate Creative Writing Track

The University of Iowa's Department of English offers a selective-admission Undergraduate Creative Writing Track. The Writing Track is a multiple-genre experience that includes Fiction, Poetry, Nonfiction, Playwriting, and Translation.

The hub of the Writing Track is a cluster of intimate Writers’ Seminars that will give students the opportunity to creatively engage the relationship between reading and writing and to explore questions of craft, literary traditions, and aesthetics in a manner that is both inspiring and rigorous. Students will learn how to read literature with a writer’s gaze through discussions and workshops.
