University of Arkansas, Monticello MFA in Creative Writing

The MFA in Creative Writing at the University of Arkansas at Monticello is an online, non-residency program of 48 semester hours, with each student admitted in fiction, poetry, or creative nonfiction while taking workshops in all three. Students work with a different faculty mentor each semester, and a small number hold assistantships teaching online writing courses. It suits talented, self-disciplined writers who can commit 20 to 25 hours a week.

A small number of competitive graduate assistantships are available to qualified students, who teach online sections of freshman-level writing. Funding is not guaranteed to all admitted students, and the program does not publish a standard stipend amount.
