During the fall residency, two academic courses bring UI students in working contact with the writers: the undergraduate-level International Literature Today (181:191 / IWP: 3191), and the graduate-level International Translation Workshop (181: 205 / IWP:5205). Check MyUI 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; non-students anywhere in the world may open-enroll with the instructor's permission.
