Writer’s Workshop

The Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Writing is a two-year primarily online course program of focused instruction for apprentice writers who have a strong commitment to a literary career but are unable to leave home, family, or job to pursue their ambitions. Over the course of study, students earn 60 credit hours in fiction, poetry, or creative nonfiction.

Twice each year, all MFA students and faculty gather for five short residency sessions. Each residency is designed to inspire continued commitment to the art of writing and refuels student enthusiasm for solitary writing time in the coming semesters.

Activities include lectures and craft discussions by faculty and guest writers, team-taught workshops, readings of original work by participants, and individual conferences with faculty members.
