At Adelphi University, we offer residencies in New York City and semester-long creative mentorships with accomplished and devoted faculty. Our MFA in Creative Writing program allows you to tailor a flexible and practical curriculum to your artistic goals.
We offer concentrations in Fiction, Poetry and Creative Nonfiction, with workshops that culminate in the final thesis course, in which students complete a book-length manuscript. You may choose to focus on any one genre or design a path that explores two or more genres, or you may decide to work in a hybrid form. Each step of the way, our NYC Creative Writing program aims to prepare you for the life of a working writer, especially as you navigate today’s shifting and vital literary landscape.
