Creative Writing
MFA in Creative Writing
Our program combines generous, attentive focus on student work with active pedagogy in a cooperative process of growth, learning, professionalization, and exploration.
Undergraduate Creative Writing
Rigorous training in poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction, with emphasis on international, innovative, and publicly engaged literature.
The creative writing program at the University of Notre Dame offers graduate and undergraduate writers rigorous training in innovative literary technique as well as in traditional forms. We engage robustly with socially grounded critical thought, and give generous individual attention, balancing student-centered creative exploration with robust pedagogical support. The program’s internationally renowned faculty bring expertise in a range of genres and aesthetic approaches, as well as deep experience in publishing, criticism, and editing. As writers and teachers we are committed to the public role of literature: we see our community on campus as part of a global network of writers, poets, thinkers, and critics engaged in understanding, changing, and re-imagining our world.
