New MFA Programs	Can't Post

This thread is for conversations about MFA programs that are less than 18 months old. The program can be anything from full time to low residency, national or international. If you know of a program that has just started, this is the place to discuss it!

I'm enrolled in the new low-res program at the University of Tampa. At this point, we've enrolled just two cohorts so the program is still fairly small and developing, but we have some great faculty and students. I'm happy to answer any questions people might have about the program.

In addition, please add Cedar Crest College's Pan-European Low-Residency MFA to the list of new MFAs. It has an esteemed faculty including a poet laureate, the 2012 MacAuthur Genius grant winner, amongst others!
This summer's residency will take place at Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, the following summer in Barcelona, Spain.
Have a look at the program details here:
mfa.cedarcrest.edu
The deadline for the Spring semester is December 3rd, 2012.
The deadline for the Summer Residency/Fall semester is March 1st, 2013.

Also, Queens University of Charlotte has just launched a new low-res Latin America MFA. It combines Latin American studies with its creative writing curriculum. It's a great opportunity to study with award-winning and best-selling writers while being immersed in a different culture. Residencies will rotate among Buenos Aires, Santiago (Chile) and Rio de Janeiro.
Have a look at Queens' website for more info!
