The goal of MFA in Creative Writing is to immerse graduate students in a culture of productive creativity by doing the following: providing them with an opportunity to work in apprenticeship fashion with writing faculty; helping them to acquire a keen sense of the evolving landscape and the challenges in the field of creative writing; empowering them to create a dynamic learning community of writers in the heart of Southwest Virginia; and enabling them to develop the requisite skills they need in order to publish full-length collections of poetry and fiction. The program will also prepare students for teaching at the college-level.
