the m.f.a. in creative writing
Founded in 1995, the MFA Program in Creative Writing is a 2-year course of study leading to the M.F.A. degree in the genres of creative nonfiction, fiction, or poetry. We provide the freedom, time and formal training that serious writers need and deserve. The Program embodies the finest qualities of Saint Mary’s College: an interest in the student as a person, an emphasis on shared inquiry and critical thinking, and a respect for new and different ways of knowing. We offer a fine permanent faculty, outstanding writers-in-residence, small classes and a high level of faculty-student contact.
