MFA创意写作计划概述
Our MFA 创意写作 程序 includes three intensive 为期两周的夏季驻留, three online semesters of creative 写作 和 critical reading 和 one online semester of thesis preparation. We encourage students to begin the 程序 with a summer residency, 但你可以选择在春天开始.
We modeled our low-residency format on the mentorships that informed the development of many accomplished writers before residential M.F.A. 甚至有程序存在. Each faculty mentor works with no more than five students per class. 结果是, our students enjoy the freedom 和 flexibility to participate in our 程序 remotely, while still benefiting from close mentoring relationships with established authors.
You will choose the primary genre in which you plan to work: poetry, creative nonfiction or fiction (fiction includes science fiction 和 fantasy). If you’d like to work in a second genre, a cross-genre is available.
当你完成我们的M.F.A. 程序, you will have created 和 revised an original work 和 finished a thesis that can serve as the foundation for a book-length manuscript.
