About the Programs
The University of Wyoming offers students two unique English graduate programs in an intellectually vibrant department.
Master of Arts in English
Our Master of Arts students receive a solid base in English Studies, with a concentration in either literature or composition and rhetoric, while tailoring their studies to their career goals. This program has allowed our graduates to achieve success in university teaching, law, publishing, grant writing and marketing. While at the University of Wyoming, students also benefit from the Department's impressive speakers' series; past speakers have included Paul Muldoon, Michael Ondaatje, Terry Tempest Williams, Robert Scholes, and Jean Howard.
Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing
The University of Wyoming's Creative Writing MFA program is an intensive two-year studio degree in poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. Special features include a flexible curriculum, cross-genre opportunities, opportunities for interdisciplinary study, and our Eminent Writers in Residence program, which brings distinguished authors to campus to work closely with our students.
Distance Learning
Salman Rushdie with UW students
Salman Rushdie spent a day in Laramie, giving two lectures and dining with students, faculty, and members of the community. These students, chosen by lottery, had the chance to chat with the author during the flight to Denver.
