Bard College MFA in Creative Writing

The MFA in Writing at Bard College's Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts is one of six disciplines, alongside film and video, music and sound, painting, photography and sculpture, in a deliberately interdisciplinary program. Students gather on campus each summer, with the 2027 session running June 7 to July 30, and applicants who work across media may apply to two disciplines. No GRE, GPA minimum or undergraduate degree is required.

Aid applicants must file the FAFSA or Bard's international aid form by February 1, 2027. Scholarships for international students are need-based and very limited. Incoming class: 26.
