MASTER LIKOVNIH UMETNOSTI (M.F.A.) Kreativno Pisanje

Founded in 1981, the McNeese State University is home to the oldest Master of Fine Arts program in Louisiana and one of the oldest in the southeast. The cornerstone of our program is our creative writing workshops where, for a minimum of four semesters, MFA students submit their own poetry or fiction, review and critique their peers’ work and build necessary skills as writers and readers of literary fiction and poetry. Craft-based Form and Theory courses in both genres round out our MFA program, providing foundational knowledge of elements vital to the development of writing skills. As a creative writing MFA student here, your three-year experience will culminate in the creative thesis – a book-length manuscript with significant artistic merit.

The College of Liberal Arts offers a broad spectrum of knowledge and training in a large number of academic and professional fields. We embrace and promote the philosophy that education is not merely for earning a living; education is for living a life.
