This Master of Fine Arts program is a studio/academic program in which emphasis on students’ own writing and craft (in workshops and craft seminars) is balanced with study of literature and the form and theory of nonfiction. In an environment supportive of aesthetic and pedagogical diversity, students gain a broad sense of the genre over time and a vivid awareness of nonfiction in the present cultural landscape. Students complete the program with a book-length manuscript, the MFA thesis.
