At Adelphi University, we offer residencies in New York City and semester-long creative mentorships with accomplished and devoted faculty. Our MFA in Creative Writing program allows you to tailor a flexible and practical curriculum to your artistic goals. Our five-day New York City August residency will be held at the Center for Fiction in downtown Brooklyn. We offer concentrations in Fiction, Poetry and Creative Nonfiction, with workshops that culminate in the final thesis course, in which students complete a book-length manuscript. You may choose to focus on any one genre or design a path that explores two or more genres, or you may decide to work in a hybrid form. Each step of the way, our NYC Creative Writing program aims to prepare you for the life of a working writer, especially as you navigate today’s shifting and vital literary landscape.
To help with tuition, all accepted students will receive partial scholarships.
Financial aid is also available.
The Adelphi MFA is also one of the more affordable low-residency programs at a private university.
