Pacific University MFA in Creative Writing
The MFA in Writing at Pacific University is a two-year, 68-credit low-residency program in which students gather twice a year for ten-day residencies in the Pacific Northwest and spend each semester in one-on-one mentorship. Faculty in poetry, fiction, and nonfiction teach a craft-focused curriculum of lectures, classes, and workshops, and alumni stay connected through ongoing readings and events. It suits writers balancing writing with other commitments.
