Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing
In Stetson's Low-Residency program, students gather twice a year for ten intense days of workshops, readings, and craft talks in a dynamic community of established and beginning writers. Between workshops, students exchange packets of original work with a faculty mentor. The program culminates in a book-length project.
