Overview

This year we introduce a redesign of our curriculum to make the program even more adaptable, relevant, and affordable.

Features

The M.F.A. in Nonfiction is a low-residency program at Goucher College, combining the flexibility of online learning with the community of in-person residencies.

Our winter sessions meet in New York City where students workshop their writing, meet agents and editors, pitch their projects, and learn to navigate the world of publishing.

In summer, students gather on Goucher’s campus in Baltimore for workshops, lectures, readings, and visits from accomplished writers.
