The University of Iowa (MFA in Translation)

Literary translation has long been associated with the writing programs and with Comparative Literature in the University of Iowa. In 1962 a Translation Workshop, which became a model for such workshops elsewhere, was established within the Creative Writing Program, shortly after transferring to Comparative Literature, where it has remained ever since. Since 1967 the International Writing Program has brought distinguished foreign writers to this campus each year, sponsoring the translation and publication of anthologies and individual collections of poetry, prose, and theatrical works in translation. Students in the Creative Writing Program and the Translation Workshop have the opportunity to work with visiting writers, a number of whom regularly visit the Workshop during their Fall semester residence at the Univ. of Iowa.

The MFA in Translation, originating in the Translation Workshop, is a degree program, which promotes creative performance and the study of languages, literature, criticism, and cultural history. The aim of the program is to encourage the practice of translation, and to bring about greater awareness of its tradition, as one of the primary means of cultural intertraffic.
