在這里學(xué)什么？
The Master of Fine Arts degree in creative writing fosters a close knit, supportive community within which to write and study part of a dynamic, growing university less than an hour's drive from some of the most beautiful natural wonders in North America.
The Master of Fine Arts degree in creative writing is designed for students who want to pursue a professional degree with emphases on both students' writing and graduate-level scholarship in English. The degree involves a three-year course of study, requiring a series of rigorous workshops centered on the development of students' creative work, in addition to coursework in literary history, critical theory, and literary craft. Students will have the opportunity to develop a significant body of publishable creative work with an understanding of and the ability to describe the work's historical/ literary context.
As the terminal degree in the field of creative writing, the MFA degree prepares graduates to teach at the collegiate level, as well as for employment in the fields of publishing, literary agenting, and editing. The degree also guides writers toward publishing in nationally prominent presses, journals, and magazines.
The three-year residential course of study requires a series of workshops in addition to classes in editing and publishing, literary history, critical theory, and craft, as well as a thesis created under the close mentorship of a faculty committee. Our program offers students opportunities to engage in public outreach; they can also gain experience editing and publishing, via a partnership with Reno-based Baobab Press. Numerous nationally prominent writers visit the University every year to read and to meet our students.
