MFA Program in Creative Writing

Our MFA program has a great track record of success. Poets, Fiction Writers, Memoirists, Script-writers have all developed projects during their time here, and their hard work has led to some exciting publications and performances. Take a look at a few of their published works. 

Undergraduate Program

The Creative Writing Concentration is a great choice to sharpen your writing skills and exercise your creative freedom as you earn a degree in English. An English Degree offers a lot to students. Whether it is teaching, working in publishing, or going on to grad school, the critical thinking skills and communication skills taught in the English Major are important in nearly every profession.  Also an appreciation of literature and a developed mode of analysis enriches life.
