The Low Residency MFA in Creative Writing

 

UNO's innovative Low Residency Program combines distance learning with study abroad. During the fall and spring semesters, students participate in online workshops and literature classes. Every summer, writers attend a month-long residency in Cork, Ireland; Edinburgh, Scotland; or at Ezra Pound's Brunnenburg Castle in Italy.

 

Unlike other Low Residency programs in which students are paired with a single faculty member for the duration of their studies, UNO's Low Residency program is organized in standard semesters, providing the benefit of exposure to a variety of authors in each genre over the course of a writer’s curriculum, as well as rigorous interaction with peers. Strong, often life-long writing relationships result from this approach, so that students leave the program with a writing community to support their growth after graduation.

Summer 2013: Cork, Ireland

We are fortunate to have forged a partnership with University College Cork, on whose lovely Victorian era campus we'll be studying. What will be up in Cork? As usual, we'll feature our writing workshops with exceptional faculty and guests, as well as our famous reading series and excursions to nearby historic sites. Read more about it HERE.
