It offers core courses in memoir, narrative journalism, and the personal essay; with electives in food and travel writing; writing about culture, race, and identity; health and wellness writing; family histories; nature and spiritual writing; personal profile writing; and contemporary women’s stories. Professional tracks in publishing and teaching creative writing are also available, as well as a year-long thesis course. A literary journal run by the MFA, Multiplicity Magazine, is launching in the fall of 2019. Part-time options available.
