Creative Writing Program |
|
MFA Program in Creative Writing--ranked fourth among the nation's top twenty creative writing programs by U.S. News and World Report (1997), making us the highest nationally ranked graduate program at the University of Virginia--is a small, two-year course of graduate study. Of the 250-300-some applications we receive each year, we generally admit 5 poets and 7 fiction writers. Many of our graduates go on to successful careers in writing and teaching. Over fifteen writers from recent graduating classes alone have distinguished themselves, our Program, and the University by winning important literary prizes (The Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets, The New York Times Notable Books list, the Pushcart Series, the Barnes & Noble Discover Award, the Yale Younger Poets Series prize, the Barnard Women Poet's Prize, The Prix de Rome, etc.) and have landed major book contracts in recent years.
