University of Notre Dame Creative Writing Program
Program Description
Our graduate M.F.A. Creative Writing program is a two-year literary immersion, offering workshops with nationally acclaimed writers and literature classes with a distinguished Department of English faculty. Our community is small and congenial (we admit only ten to twelve writers a year) and part of a lively intellectual community in the larger English department. Our students make up a diverse group of all ages, backgrounds, writing approaches, and writing styles.. All students write a thesis—a collection of stories or creative nonfiction, a novel, or a collection of poetry—and work closely with a thesis advisor.
A former graduate, Dani Rado writes, "What I like most about the program is that you can be as involved as you want. Some of us have set up reading series, brought in writers, organized events, gone to conferences—all with the support (including financial support) of the program—and some people have just stayed in their apartments and busted out novels."
