M.F.A. in Creative Writing

A Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) in Creative Writing is a graduate degree that focuses on developing skills in writing fiction, poetry, or non-fiction. Students engage in workshops, where they write, critique peer work, and receive feedback from instructors. The program fosters creativity and deepens understanding of literary techniques and styles. Additionally, it often includes study of literature and may culminate in a thesis, such as a book of original writing. An M.F.A. can enhance a writer's craft, provide networking opportunities, and serve as a credential for teaching or pursuing a writing career.
