We also offer undergraduate creative writing workshops across genres. Many faculty teach across the whole range of this curriculum. Our 36 tenured or tenure track faculty include recent winners of many prestigious awards and fellowships, including multiple Guggenheims, Fulbrights, National Book Critics Circle, and major fellowships from the NEA and NEH. The University of Iowa provides robust internal support for faculty research and creative work, including a pre-tenure teaching release, post-tenure development leaves, grant and fellowship workshops, and funding for research and conference travel.
