About the Creative Writing Program and UM:
The University of Montana introduced the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Creative Writing in 2020. The program is designed to support and mentor students by providing fundamental skills and experiences that prepare them for graduate school and the professional world. Students learn from our nationally-ranked MFA program faculty and receive critical feedback from their peers in the vibrant literary and arts community of Missoula.
Our programs offers a broad array of classes in fiction, nonfiction, and poetry: workshops, courses in reading and revision and a class where students solicit, choose, and publish submissions to The Oval, the undergraduate literary magazine.
The University of Montana is a flagship, research institution with approximately 10,000 undergraduate and graduate students. It is located in Missoula, a culturally vibrant community of about 75,000, surrounded by mountains where three rivers converge. Abundant recreational opportunities in surrounding state and national forests and nearby Glacier National Park and Yellowstone National Park complement a thriving intellectual atmosphere. The University of Montana offers eligible employees a generous benefits package that positively separates UM from other local employers and offers many programs and policies to support work-life balance for its employees.
The University of Montana is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer and has a strong institutional commitment to the principle of diversity in all areas. In that spirit, we are particularly interested in receiving applications from a broad spectrum of qualified people who would assist the University in demonstrating its five priorities for action: Place student success at the center of all we do; drive excellence and innovation in teaching, learning, and research; embody the principle of "mission first, people always"; partner with place; and proudly tell the UM story.
