Rutgers University, Newark MFA in Creative Writing

The MFA in Creative Writing at Rutgers University-Newark is a 36-credit studio and research program where writers study literature as they write it, pairing genre workshops with graduate literature courses and a mentored thesis. Students choose a concentration in Literature/Book Arts, Cultural, Political, and Ethnic Studies, or Performance/Media Studies, and can draw on Newark institutions such as the Institute for Jazz Studies.

All admitted full-time students receive funding for the two-year programme. Part-time students are not eligible for funding; the programme page does not publish a standard annual stipend amount.
