Pine Manor College MFA in Creative Writing
Program Description
The Solstice Low-Residency Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing Program of Pine Manor College is designed to help students reach their full potential as writers through a demanding curriculum that balances the workshop experience with the study of literary craft, criticism, and theory. Working with some of the best writers in the country, students of the Solstice MFA program emerge with a well-rounded knowledge of their art, a strategy for continuing the development of their creative vision, and a supportive circle of peers and mentors.
The Solstice Low-Residency MFA Program requires four semesters of intensive work via mail or e-mail and five, 10-day residencies when students are physically on the college campus. Between residencies, students work one-on-one on a semester-long project with a faculty mentor. During this time of independent work and study, students collaborate with their faculty mentor to explore their genre in depth through reading, discussion and annotation, and the creation of new work.
The program requires 60 credits—including work done during the residency and the remaining semester—for completion.
