MFA Writing: Poetry

3 Years On Campus Masters Program

Columbia University

Program Overview

The Poetry concentration at Columbia is one of the strongest and most rigorous in the country. The program’s focus is, always, on students’ creative work, but we also emphasize an in-depth study of poetry and poetics unlike any other curriculum offered elsewhere. In a given semester, poetry students participate in a hands-on, intense, and scrupulously supportive workshop while also enrolling in seminars, lectures, and Master Classes designed to stimulate and expand their creative aspirations and to deepen their critical engagement with the art. Aesthetic diversity prevails at Columbia—there is no such subgenre as the “Columbia Poem”—as does an authentic and profound sense of community.
