Georgia College & State University MFA in Creative Writing

The MFA in Creative Writing at Georgia College & State University is a full-residency, three-year program in Milledgeville in fiction, poetry or creative nonfiction, with a workshop outside the thesis genre and courses in pedagogy. Students and faculty will edit Peach, a new national journal launching in spring 2027 that carries on the legacy of Arts & Letters. Assistants teach or tutor, and visiting and student reading series run each semester.

All admitted students receive a graduate assistantship with a stipend and tuition remission: $8,600 a year in year one, and $10,800 for teaching fellowships in years two and three.
