The Writing Program at Washington University
Program Description
The Writing Program at Washington University is rigorous and challenging, requiring a full commitment from the student. We offer a Master of Fine Arts in Fiction or Poetry. Because of our selectivity and size, we are able to offer all our new students full and equal financial aid. For first year students, this has come in the form of a university fellowship which provides a complete tuition waiver plus a stipend sufficient for students to live comfortably in our relatively inexpensive city. We also provide full and equal funding to all of our second year students in the form of a Teaching Assistantship which, again, includes a full tuition waiver. To earn this assistantship, our students teach one section of an introductory creative writing workshop in their genres each semester of the second year. Our Hurst Visiting Professors program brings two prominent authors to campus each semester to work one on one with our students. Recent graduates of the program have published books with Algonquin Press, University of Wisconsin Press, University of Massachusetts Press, Penguin Press, Viking, Anvil Press, Ecco, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Pittsburgh Press, Heinemann Reed, and Johns Hopkins University Press.
