Iowa State University MFA in Creative Writing and Environment

Iowa State's three-year MFA in Creative Writing and Environment asks writers to explore the complex influences of place in poetry, fiction, nonfiction and drama. Every student designs an environmentally focused field experience, and the program has its own 76-acre nature reserve on Bluff Creek in rural Boone County. Students can also work on Flyway, the program's online journal.

Half-time teaching assistantships pay $20,872 over ten months, with a full tuition waiver. Incoming class: 9.
