Brooklyn College MFA in Creative Writing
Program Description
Brooklyn College MFA Program Description: This small, highly personal two-year program in creative writing confers Masters of Fine Arts degrees in fiction, poetry, and playwriting. Located in America’s artistic hotspot, it offers single-discipline and inter-genre workshops, literature seminars, small-group reading tutorials, and one-on-one tutorials, all of which emphasize relationships between eminent faculty and students. Additionally, students have the opportunity to work on The Brooklyn Review and give public readings and performances in Brooklyn and Manhattan. The program offers some fellowships and prizes, as well as a winter writing residency at the Espy Foundation in Oysterville, Washington. Students may also teach undergraduate courses for the English Department. Our graduates have had their work published widely and have won competitions sponsored by the Iowa Review, the Colorado Review, the Mississippi Review, Zoetrope, and many others. They have been included in The Best New Young Poets anthology, Best American Short Stories anthology, The Pushcart Prize anthology, and the O.Henry Awards anthology. Our playwrights have won Obies, started theater companies, and had their plays produced here and abroad.
