MFA Student Guide

Welcome to the creative writing MFA program. This guide will help you navigate the process here from arrival through graduation.

Of necessity, writing is a solitary experience, but we endeavor to make it less so, at least for a couple of years. The faculty and staff are always available to talk with you about practicalities and flights of fancy. Call on us. Hopefully we’ll be able to help.

May your experience here be rich with inspiration!

Warm wishes,

Aurelie Sheehan
