The program offers partial funding through graduate assistantships and financial aid. Accepted students may apply for teaching assistantship positions.
All students turn in a complete, book-length manuscript for their thesis at the end of the program. Students attend three weeklong residencies, in August and January at the Arcadia University campus in Glenside, Pennsylvania; and in July in Edinburgh, Scotland. The program hosts readings and discussions with writers and publishers.
The priority application deadline is March 1; admissions are made on a rolling basis thereafter as space allows.
The course sequence for MFA students can be found on the program’s website.
