Creative & Professional Writing - MFA Mission Statement
The M.F.A. in Creative and Professional Writing is a studio/research program of 41 credits designed to provide graduate students with the practical skills necessary to develop their own writing, evaluate and edit the writing of others, gain experience with methodologies of learning and teaching writing, and extend their knowledge of literature from various periods, genres, and major authors. Offering concentrations in four genres—poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and professional nonfiction—the program will help students attune their work to contemporary literary publishing standards, encourage them to explore both the process and the product of the writing craft, and foster their facility with a broad range of techniques relevant to the art of creative writing, to careers in editing and publishing, and to the competitive marketplace standards of professional prose.
