Eastern Oregon University MFA in Creative Writing

The MFA in Creative Writing at Eastern Oregon University is a two-year low-residency program that pairs summer residencies with online mentorship. Residencies are split between the La Grande campus and the Fishtrap Gathering of Writers at Wallowa Lake, and an optional concentration in Landscape, Ecology, and Community supports place-based and community writing projects.

New for 2026, a limited number of merit-based scholarships are available for full- and part-time students. Incoming class: 6.
