North Carolina State University MFA in Creative Writing

The MFA in Creative Writing at North Carolina State University is a two-year program in poetry or fiction that admits about twelve students a year, split evenly between the two genres. Students take four workshops and six interdisciplinary graduate courses and finish with a thesis, apprenticing closely with working writers on the faculty. Running since 2005, it is the only creative writing MFA in the Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill area.

All admitted applicants with an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0 are offered a graduate teaching assistantship. The package includes full tuition coverage, health insurance and a stipend; university fees and living expenses are not covered.
