The MFA in Creative Writing

Our MFA is a flexible, affordable program designed to meet the needs of 21st century writers where they are. Students receive an outstanding education around the workshop table with renowned authors in both of our prime locations. They become part of a community who deeply believes in the importance of translating the human experience. 

We believe strong writers need time and space to write. To explore. To take risks. To fail. To take more risks. To succeed.

We believe you shouldn’t need an MBA to afford an MFA.
