In 2020, The University of Montana launched its Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Creative Writing program. This curriculum aims to guide and develop students by equipping them with essential skills and practical knowledge for both advanced studies and professional careers. Participants benefit from instruction by faculty affiliated with our nationally-recognized MFA program while engaging in constructive peer reviews within Missoula's dynamic arts scene. The BFA combines creative writing workshops, literary studies, and experiential learning to deliver a comprehensive academic journey. Students complete their studies with a culminating capstone course during their last term. What makes Montana ideal for creative writing studies? Imagine a setting where the mayor opens the Montana Book Festival, where summer nights seem endless, and where cultural venues, outdoor adventures, and artistic spaces are all within a short walk or bike ride.
