Writing - Pacific University

Writing from Pacific University is a Campus Master Writing degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Pacific???s Master of Fine Art in Writing program seeks to support and inspire students to become better writers while creating a quality portfolio of fiction, nonfiction or poetry. Our program encourages students to write meaningful and honest pieces, and to embrace writing as an art that has the potential to make a difference in the world. A student may earn an MFA in fiction, nonfiction or poetry. The low-residency format allows students to earn a graduate degree over the course of two years through five intensive campus residencies, coupled with guided study during four correspondence semesters. Students earn 15 credits each semester and apply those 15 credits toward the minimum of 60 required for successful completion of the program. In the belief that writers can and must lead full and interesting lives, the program embraces students who have full-time jobs and other obligations and allows them to design individualized courses of study to be carried out under the supervision of a writer advisor. Students and writers come together twice a year in June and January for 10-day residencies on the Pacific University campus or at an off-campus location. Residencies include workshops, lectures, seminars, panels and readings, featuring award-winning writers who act as faculty members for the program and visiting writers who participate only during the residency. At the residencies, students are paired with a writer who serves as an advisor for the independent study that follows. Student and advisor meet in conferences to develop a study plan for the subsequent correspondence semester when the student will devote 20-25 hours each week to writing and reading.
