The Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) in Creative Writing is a cross-genre program that offers a versatile, interdisciplinary approach to prose, poetry, and playwriting. Students refine their skills in small, single-genre workshops, literature courses, and with one-on-one mentoring from our distinguished faculty, who are widely published authors of fiction, poetry, plays, screenplays, and essays. The University's proximity to New York City offers extensive opportunities to participate in the City's diverse cultural and artistic events.
