Overview

Writing demands both solitude—time alone to think and write—and a community of colleagues to sustain that work, too.

The low-residency Creative Writing program at Queens University of Charlotte is expressly designed to meet both of those demands.

Key Features

With courses of study in fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, and writing for stage and screen, the MFA program offers a community of writers in-residence and online who share the immersive experience over four semesters of intense study and writing.
