The University of Idaho’s Department of English and Creative Writing offers students a wealth of real-world literary experiences through its array of journals, magazines, news outlets, and related programs. With a strong emphasis on experiential learning, students gain hands-on exposure to the publishing and creative writing industries, developing essential skills that extend far beyond the classroom.
By participating in editorial teams, contributing original works, and managing full-scale publications, students are prepared for professional roles in publishing, journalism, and content creation. These opportunities not only build technical expertise but also foster creativity, collaboration, and leadership—qualities that are invaluable in today’s competitive literary landscape.
