Washington University in St. Louis MFA

ABOUT

Washington University in St. Louis offers a two-year, fully funded MFA in creative writing housed within its English department. The program is small and selective, admitting a handful of poets and fiction writers each cycle, and has built a reputation for a strong poetry faculty and workshop culture rather than for a large output of visiting writers or public programming.

As of this review, the program's dedicated page at english.wustl.edu/graduate/mfa-writing returns a 404 error, meaning current admissions details, deadlines, and faculty listings are not verifiable from that link. Applicants should search the WashU English department site directly (english.washu.edu) or the university's graduate admissions portal for the live application cycle, fee, manuscript requirements, and funding package specifics before assuming any figures.
