University of Saint Thomas, Houston

The program offers an advanced apprenticeship in poetry, fiction, and literary nonfiction and memoir taught by a host of distinguished writers and scholars. The program integrates intense and invigorating workshops in writing with a series of comprehensive seminars in the Catholic literary and intellectual tradition. Courses are online and flexible (with an optional in-person residency), and tailored to the needs of students and their writings.

The curriculum is deeply rooted in the Catholic intellectual and literary tradition, where students not only master their craft but themselves become grounded in the long tradition of literary and fine arts practice. Their summer residency is coordinated with a summer literary series that features authors from around the world and spending significant time with our students.
