Fairfield University MFA in Creative Writing Program
Program Description
The Fairfield MFA in Creative Writing offers concentrations in poetry, creative nonfiction, fiction, and our newest concentration, screenwriting, as well as the option of dual concentrations. While highly rigorous, the program can be tailored to suit a student's individual writing goals, in part by allowing one to work in a second genre for one semester. We also offer the option of an additional fifth semester so that a student can pursue additional work in an area of interest. Our core writing faculty is made up of outstanding writers and teachers, all of whom are not only well-published authors but also skilled and caring teachers. Most have published books in more than one genre so a student can work with the same instructor in a second writing area. Our guest writers have included nationally recognized authors such as Anita Shreve, Mark Doty, Rick Moody, and Philip Schultz. We also offer students the exciting option of taking one of their residences on the beautiful Italian island of Ortegia, off the eastern coast of Sicily.
