Low Residency Format
Traditional MFA programs require students be on campus for all workshops and seminars. In contrast, our low-residency format puts special attention on the craft through prioritizing one-on-one mentorship over workshops. Residencies are nine-day intensives for you to immerse yourself in writing and build a community. Our residencies are typically the first week in January and the third or fourth week in July. You will complete five residencies in the program, with four craft semesters in between.
