Request Information

The MFA in Creative Writing program now offers a year long, intensive certificate program titled The Prologue. As an introduction to the MFA, The Prologue is a 12-credit post-baccalaureate program that provides creative writers of all levels with two semesters of rigorous, graduate-level one-on-one mentorship to help them jump-start or finish a book-length project.

Learn through a remote and mentor-based structure.

The coursework for each semester is a six-credit individual mentorship. This is delivered remotely, with no need to come onto campus. Students are assigned a mentor from the MFA faculty roster, and the mentor contacts the student to start coursework. This may consist of developing short pieces, starting a new work, or revising works in progress.

Outline your plan and begin your studies.

After a student enrolls, they work with a faculty member to outline a plan for the semester. The process consists of a submission of the student's work to which their mentor will submit comments and a letter of commentary offering suggestions for the development of the piece. This process repeats three times per semester.
