MFA Creative Writing and Literary Translation

The MFA program has four tracks: poetry writing, fiction writing, playwriting, and literary translation. The course of study centers on writing workshop classes in which faculty lead students in critiques of one another's writing. Students take three workshops in their own genre, and a crossover workshop in another genre, and they take two craft classes, one in their own genre and one in another genre. They also take a course in critical theory and literature electives that help them to develop a critical vocabulary and a knowledge of various literary and cultural periods and traditions. The faculty will provide intensive discussion and supervision of student work. The program is committed to the integration of creative writing and literary studies.
