MFA

MFA Since offering its first classes in fall 1995, the MFA in Creative Writing has graduated 112 students. The MFA program stopped admitting new students in 2013.

The MFA is a terminal degree—the highest degree in its field—allowing students to study the art and craft of writing, while preparing for careers in teaching and writing-related professions. In 2013, The MFA in Creative Writing Program was one of several academic programs designated by MSUM to be phased out in order to avoid a projected $8 million deficit in 2016 and align resources with the University’s new strategic plan.
