University of California, Irvine MFA in Creative Writing

The MFA Programs in Writing at the University of California, Irvine center on fiction and poetry workshops and take two to three years, leading to an MFA in English. The program stays small, admitting no more than twelve new students a year, so that faculty can teach one to one and meet often with students. It aims to train writers who mean to make writing their life.

UCI states that domestic MFA students receive three years of financial support, including tuition coverage, health insurance and a teaching assistantship. The published estimated academic-year salary is $35,000.
