The Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) in Creative Writing offers students the opportunity to specialize in three major genres: fiction, poetry, and dramatic writing. This cross-genre program is distinctive from the traditional two-genre M.F.A. programs in which students study either fiction or poetry. Its unique Professional Development Practicum introduces students to the professional and practical life of writers across many disciplines.
Taught by distinguished faculty members who have published extensively, this program prepares students for careers in writing, teaching, and/or more advanced graduate studies through training in:
- creative writing
- language and literary studies
- research
- teaching
Students are required to complete 37 credits in a plan of study that includes writing workshops and literature classes. A student thesis is a degree requirement.
All graduate students are enrolled as members of Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP). This organization provides professional and artistic support and assistance in finding positions. AWP members can take advantage of its job listing and dossier forwarding services.
Admission criteria include the submission of an appropriate writing sample.
