We are a community of writers who support, inspire, and challenge each other to explore the experimental, discover the depths of our craft, and emerge with a fresh, confident voice.

Our selective program creates an intimate atmosphere where students work closely with nationally recognized faculty who introduce them to a diverse range of philosophies and practices. We provide the time and space to write plus the dedicated mentorship that encourages students to develop their greatest potential. All MFA candidates receive financial aid, and several James A. Michener Creative Writing Fellowships (full tuition) are available.
