IWP Courses

During each fall residency, two academic courses connect UI students with the IWP writers: the undergraduate-level International Literature Today (181:191 / IWP: 3191), and the graduate-level International Translation Workshop (181: 205 / IWP:5205). Check ISIS for additional fall and spring courses.

In collaboration with academic institutions worldwide, the program also offers English-language creative writing workshops around changing literary themes, in the format of distance learning courses. These may be taken for 1 s.h. credit by UI students; anyone else anywhere in the world may open-enroll with the instructor's permission. Contact iwp[at]uiowa.edu for additional information.
