Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing
Program Overview
An extraordinary opportunity to learn the craft of writing from the inside out.
Some people are naturally gifted writers and storytellers. But no matter how great one’s innate abilities, every writer must hone their skills to take their writing to the highest level to achieve success. The University of Missouri–St. Louis offers a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing to help you do just that. In fact, our MFA graduates have published books in fiction and poetry, won prestigious awards and placed poems, stories and essays in hundreds of esteemed literary journals.
To apply to the MFA in Creative Writing program you must have earned an undergraduate degree and provide an appropriate writing sample: 10-15 poems if applying in poetry or 20-30 pages of prose if applying in fiction (roughly two stories or novel chapters). The curriculum includes 15 hours of workshop classes, 12 of which must be taken in your genre (poetry or fiction). Additional coursework includes Form and Theory (writing craft seminar), Literary Journal Editing (reading and evaluating submissions for Boulevard magazine) and an MFA thesis.
