Program

Professional Creative Writing:
Master's Degree

Cultivate your writing skills, learn how to offer work to publishers and agents, and lay the foundation for creating a personal brand. With fellow writers, you'll work through the whole writing process—from concept to first draft and creative revision to submission of a manuscript. You'll craft a robust portfolio and, as part of your culminating project, research markets and prepare a finished work for submission
