The MFA in Creative Writing program is designed to help students who are committed to honing their craft further and become productive creative writers through a grounding in the theoretical and practical aspects of writing. This includes the prospects and possibilities of publication and performance and an intensive examination and evaluation of the students’ works under the guidance of experienced writers.

Instruction is conducted mostly by workshops, including weekend off-campus sessions. These workshops give the students the opportunity to discuss and produce original writing in the company of experienced professionals.
