Low-Res MFA in Creative Writing at UNR

Low-Res MFA in Creative Writing at UNR The low-residency MFA program at UNR-Lake Tahoe is a challenging and inspiring commitment.

The program is designed to bring writers together in order to foster unique, individual voices within a dialogue of global dimension. The University of Nevada, Reno began operations at the University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe on July 1, 2022, after entering into an agreement to acquire Sierra Nevada University in Incline Village, Nevada. Our program was built entirely by writers, to guide auth

ors organically through the exploration of their craft and thorough preparation for a sustainable life of creation and publication. No other program nurtures a writer from line and sentence to essay, story, poetry collection or novel like ours does.
