The M.F.A. Program in Creative Writing offers advanced degree training to talented students who wish to gain expertise in the writing of poetry, fiction or creative nonfiction.
It assumes that, as in music or the visual arts, the best education for the artist includes: training in the history and traditions associated with the student's discipline, training in the theoretical and formal approaches to the craft, and extensive practice with critique of student work by peers and faculty writers. The program combines studio and research approaches, providing the student with substantial critical workshop experience and a solid background in theory and literature.
The soul of the Creative Writing Program is its nationally and internationally acclaimed faculty, whose writing as well as their commitment to teaching lie at the heart of the program's ability to attract the best students from across the nation and beyond. Our award winning faculty has over 20 published books to date.
