New Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences Master's Degree Program Begins Autumn 2012
Developed by Professor Jeanne Heuving, the Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Creative Writing and Poetics at UW Bothell is dedicated to helping each student develop their creative work through a course of study that encourages exploration and discovery. Through an emphasis on poetics, or why we write how we write, we invite students to participate in a forum and laboratory that focuses on the pursuit of creative writing in a rapidly changing society.
Program information, the application process, course of study, and faculty bios are now available online.
