Experienced faculty members, all of whom are practicing writers or editors, provide expert guidance in four distinct concentrations: Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, and Science-Medical Writing. Regardless of the concentration, students receive practical direction and constructive criticism to help them write successful short stories, articles, essays, poems, books, and more. Students in the Writing Program learn primarily through the practice of writing; literature is studied to clarify approaches to the craft. Classes are kept small, especially in the writing workshops required of all participants. Within the realm of literary writing, students have the flexibility to develop individual styles and pursue specialized subjects. The program’s goal is to create a nurturing yet demanding environment where creative writers of diverse promise and purpose are challenged to work toward publication at the highest levels possible. Graduates of the program have been successful publishing award-winning books, writing for top-tier magazines and newspapers, and fulfilling lifelong literary dreams. Nine courses, including a final thesis course, are required for a degree. Courses are offered on weekday evenings or Saturdays to accommodate working adults. Students complete the program at their own pace—usually in two to five years—and nearly all attend on a part-time basis. The full degree program is available at Johns Hopkins University’s Washington, D.C. Center and at the main Homewood campus in Baltimore. Students may take courses at either or both campuses.     Accreditation Information: Middle States Association of Colleges and Universities  # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Foreign students must submit Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) scores and a course-by-course credential evaluation performed by an independent evaluation service  Requirements Qualifying Exam: None Required Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: 3.0 English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience N/A  Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement N/A  Other Requirements Recent writing samples in the chosen concentration, demonstrating the applicant's current development as a writer in that field (must total 20 to 40 typewritten, double-spaced pages, or 5,000 to 10,000 words).
