The program offers partial to full funding. All students receive graduate fellowships that range from half-tuition remission to full-tuition remission with generous stipends. All students are also offered undergraduate teaching positions during their second year of study.
The program hosts the public Reading Series, a student-run Emerging Writers Series, and a colloquium of talks with visiting writers, agents, and editors.
