MFA in Creative Writing Fall 2025 June Application Deadline

Considering the current uncertainty surrounding higher education and the arts, Saint Mary's MFA in Creative Writing has opened a special June application window for any writers who are interested in joining our MFA cohort starting in Fall 2025.

We're fortunate that our MFA program is built on the generosity of enlightened donors and community partners—not state or federal grants. This means that even now, and especially now, we can center the literature and artists we choose to center: Black and indigenous writers, writers of color, international writers, LGBTQIA+ writers, and artists from all walks of life who might not be able to attend an MFA program without financial support.

We welcome all styles of writing and emphasize a craft-oriented approach, acknowledging that writing is an ongoing process helped along by shared reading. We are dedicated to making the writing workshop a place where all students can come together in good faith, with the intention of helping one another become the best writers and readers they can be. 

This special application period runs until Monday, June 30th and we look forward to engaging with you and your work. See more information about our application process and start your MFA journey at this link.
