Oregon State University boasts a rich legacy of nurturing and instructing creative writing, tracing its roots to the 1950s when acclaimed novelist William Kittredge studied here and Bernard Malamud earned a National Book Award as an English Department faculty member.
While this heritage is impressive, our current achievements are even more extraordinary.
Today, OSU's Creative Writing program thrives like never before, attracting top-tier applicants in fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction. All students receive full funding via GTA positions with tuition waivers, complemented by an energetic Visiting Writers Series and the prestigious Stone Award for Lifetime Literary Achievement.
