About Master of Fine Arts - Creative Writing

The MFA in Creative Writing at Southern Connecticut State University is a flexible full-residency, terminal-degree program that prepares students for careers as publishing writers, teachers, editors, and professionals in the publishing world. We work with students who attend full-time and students who attend part-time, and we are committed to working with the student’s needs in mind.

Southern Connecticut State University focuses on the development of the writer through experiences in the writing workshops and the creative thesis, but writers also need to be readers and study literature, so Southern Connecticut State University  students study literature from ancient world lit to contemporary lit with experts in each field. Other courses focus on literary theory, composition and rhetoric, and teaching collegiate-level writing. In some cases, MFA students may also teach their own courses.

Southern Connecticut State University  MFA Program in Creative Writing is designed to graduate fiction writers and poets:

  • Have the skills and experience to become publishing writers.
  • Have the experience and depth of knowledge to become university instructors of creative and expository writing.
  • Have a comprehensive foundation in intensive literary study, literary analysis, literary theory, and critical writing;
  • Become versatile critical thinkers and perceptive, able communicators, prepared for the post- graduate job market, in positions such as freelance writers, editors, grant writers, teachers, technical writers, proofreaders, copyeditors, publicists, media and marketing associates, freelance reporters, and administrators in arts organizations.
