San Diego State University MFA in Creative Writing
The MFA in Creative Writing at San Diego State University was founded in 1989 by poet Sandra Alcosser and brings an international focus to its course work and faculty, shaped in part by a campus just minutes from the US-Mexico border. Students can attend the free Hugh C. Hyde Living Writers' Series, one of the longest continuously running reading series in the country. The program presents itself as an affordable path to the degree.
