- Description
- In its unique design, the Master of Fine Arts (MFA) program combines creative work and the engaged critical study and analysis of literature for children and young adults. Students examine transformative works from folklore, fantasy, nonfiction, poetry, and realism as rich contexts for developing their individual artistic visions and voices. Small group critiques, individualized mentorships, and grounding in the publishing industry fortify each student’s career development as a writer.
