the m.f.a. in creative writing
Founded in 1995, the MFA Program in Creative Writing is a two-year course of study leading to the M.F.A. degree in fiction, nonfiction, or poetry. The Program provides the time and formal training necessary for serious students to improve their writing, and it 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 various ways of knowing. We offer small classes, an outstanding permanent faculty, numerous visiting writers and editors, and close faculty-student contact.
