Creative Writing - The New School

Creative Writing from The New School is a Campus Master Writing degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The MFA curriculum is a 36-credit course of study, currently with four concentrations: fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and writing for children. The program emphasizes literature as a vital artistic discipline, a creative activity. Writing workshops are balanced with literature seminars for the first three semesters. Workshops are always in the student's concentration, but you may elect to take some seminars outside your own field. In your final term of residence, you work closely with an advisor or advisors in independent study leading to the completion of both a Writing Thesis and a Literature Project within your chosen concentration. For every semester in residence, you must also earn one credit for the Writer's Life Colloquium. This requirement is met by participation in a minimum of eight approved literary or related events at The New School , which include craft seminars (Fiction Forum, Poetry Forum, etc.), special readings, publishing roundtables, and visiting writer residencies. The creative writing graduate program is designed to be completed in two years of full-time study. All courses and most Writer's Life Colloquium events are conveniently scheduled in the evening. At this time, part-time study is not an option, and, due to the integral nature of the curriculum, transfer credits are not accepted. View more details on The New School .
