Students

The MFA program in Creative Writing currently has 116 active, full-time students. Applicants come from all across the country to a program that writer George Garrett, in an article in the Dictionary of Literary Biography Yearbook, ranked as the sixth best graduate creative writing program in the country. Many of them come from careers, but a large number also enroll only a few years after getting their undergraduate degrees.
