MFA 2010?!?
by Sara on June 27th, 2009
Hi everyone,
Just a note to let you know what I’ve been up to lately (besides work and playing with my Yorkie, Wyatt): I have been researching graduate school programs in Creative Writing (in the nonfiction genre) for the past three months, and I’ve finally narrowed down my list of schools to apply to for the fall of 2010. The list appears below; the schools that I most want to attend are at the top.
University of Minnesota
University of Arizona
University of Alabama
Penn State University
University of New Mexico
University of Iowa
University of North Carolina – Wilmington
Hollins University
The Ohio State University
Eastern Washington University
University of New Hampshire
University of Colorado – Boulder
University of Notre Dame
George Mason University
University of Nebraska – Lincoln
University of South Dakota
The top four programs are pretty much tied for first, although the University of Arizona and the University of Alabama seem to consume my thoughts more than the University of Minnesota. The “experts” suggest that writers should apply to 10-15 programs at once to increase their chances of getting in, and I will apply to probably the first 14 programs at first. If I don’t get accepted to any of these programs, I may decide to wait a while before applying again, or I may decide to apply at USD (it’s my last resort…)
Anyway, I just thought some of you might be interested in what I’m looking to do; for more information about what a Masters in Fine Arts (MFA) in Creative Writing is all about, click here.
