Multiplicity Magazine
The program, with a home base on the campus of the historically women’s college, Bay Path, features small class sizes, a supportive community, close faculty mentoring, internship opportunities, and a summer creative writing field seminar in Ireland.
It offers core courses in memoir, narrative journalism, and the personal essay, and includes electives in food and travel writing; writing about culture, race, and identity; health, narrative medicine, and social justice writing; family histories; nature and environmental writing; personal profile writing; and contemporary women’s stories. Professional tracks in publishing, teaching creative writing, and narrative medicine are also available, as well as a year-long thesis course. The MFA runs an online literary journal, Multiplicity Magazine, which launched in the spring of 2020. Part-time options available.
