Creative Writing MFA

A consortium of four univeresities in Northeast Ohio means four times the talented faculty and four times the creative peer group you'll network and workshop with, all in one MFA program.

One More Thing
Alex Puncecar, Creative Writing MFA StudentWhat I love about the program here is the community: friends, other students, faculty. I become just as invested in their academic journeys as my own."
