Students are admitted into the program in a particular genre: poetry, nonfiction, or fiction. Students may explore other genres by using their remaining 4-credit required workshop and elective credits. Students can take courses in any of the following areas: poetry, fiction or?nonfiction.
At the conclusion of their coursework, students submit and defend a manuscript in one genre to be approved by a thesis committee.

MFA Thesis
For completion of the MFA degree, students are required to write a thesis of “near publishable” quality. The thesis may consist of a collection of poems, short stories, essays,?a novel, novel excerpt, or a nonfiction book or excerpt. Minimum required lengths for MFA theses vary according to genre.
It is strongly suggested that the student begin planning the thesis early and develop a work that approaches a publishable book in concept and form. When nearing completion of the program, a student applies for a thesis committee with a chair who works closely with that student to make a work plan, develop the final manuscript, and schedule a thesis defense.
