The Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree in Creative Writing offers advanced study and practice of literary craft. This studio/research program provides writers with the ongoing support and challenge of a workshop environment, along with individualized guidance by faculty members who are published authors themselves. The MFA degree culminates in the production of a book manuscript (i.e. novel, poetry collection, memoir, screenplay, etc.) with a critical introduction that contextualizes the work within contemporary literary writing, craft, traditions, and directions.
The terminal degree program helps prepare students to seek professional opportunities as writers, teachers at the college or university level, editors, literary translators, and/or related pursuits.
