选择性MFA项目录取
Admission to the MFA in Writing program is based upon approval of a creative writing sample and a 目的陈述书. This selective acceptance process ensures that MFA students are at the point in their writing development where they are prepared for an intensive, graduate-level focus on their writing skills and growth, along with the ability to give thoughtful and productive feedback to the other writers in the program.
滚动招生
The MFA Program has a rolling admissions policy, with applications accepted throughout the year. Accepted students will begin classes in the upcoming term that works best for them, after their university admissions process is complete.
Program acceptance is not limited to a specific number of students each year. Each applicant is considered individually, and every creative writing sample is reviewed on its own merit. We are looking for students who clearly demonstrate strong writing skills, an understanding of the craft of creative writing, and a willingness to continue growing as a writer.
We do not require GRE scores or letters of recommendation; program acceptance is based on MFA faculty approval of the writing sample and statement.
Students must also meet university admission requirements. See the sections below for information on the writing sample, 目的陈述书, 以及其他要求.
编写示例指南
