Overview

Creative Writing from Oklahoma State University allows you to focus on developing your abilities as a poet, fiction writer, and/or creative nonfiction writer through a course of study emphasizing creative writing workshops, literature seminars, and electives in any of those or other areas in language and culture. In consultation with your advisory committee—made up of nationally and internationally recognized faculty—you will devise an individualized curriculum that reflects your own artistic and intellectual interests and prepares you to publish your artistic writing, enter a PhD program, or teach at the college level.

Research and Faculty

Our award-winning faculty have mentored and advised hundreds of emerging writers who have gone on to publish in their fields and to acquire jobs teaching writing. Creative Writing students and alumni have placed their work in such venues as The New Yorker, the New York Times and the annual Best New Poets anthology and published books with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, BOA, Sibling Rivalry Press and other distinguished presses.
