MFA EN ESCRITURA CREATIVA

The program provides graduate students the opportunity to concentrate on the study, practice, and teaching of Creative Writing in a highly focused writing environment facilitated by writers for writers. At 60 hours, this three-year program will ensure that graduates build multi-genre backgrounds in the popular discipline of Creative Writing through workshops, forms courses, topics courses, a wide variety of electives, and specialized teaching and editing practicums.

To ensure individualized attention, the program admits 5 to 8 students annually, with a total population of under 25 students. We offer two publishing assistantships, one with the award-winning national magazine the Oxford American, and one with our new online magazine, Arkana.

In the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences we strengthen this by emphasizing a diverse and global curriculum and real-world learning activities, such as: art exhibitions, study abroad experiences, live performances, internships, undergraduate research projects, creative writing workshops, film festivals, service-learning courses, and many more.

If students want to advance their education here, we offer graduate programs in Creative Writing, English, Film, History, Music, and Spanish. Our faculty are ready and willing to assist you with these decisions and provide you with input necessary for you to make an informed decision about your course of study.

The College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences is committed to global learning and hands-on academic experiences, to making a positive difference in society, and to excellence in the educational enterprise. Join us in pursuing a valuable and diverse education.
