While our students generally focus on a particular genre, many of them experiment in multiple genres, seeking to borrow tools from other forms that prove useful to their primary work. Some students have even successfully incorporated multiple genres in their culminating projects.

We admit 10 to 15 new students per year, and we generally have between 50 and 60 graduate-level Creative Writing students in our program. Of these students, approximately one-third are working at the M.A. level and two-thirds are working at the Ph.D. level.
