Florida State University - Master of Fine Arts Creative Writing Posted on April 22nd
Florida State University is in the heart of Tallahassee: a capital city with Southern charm, where the roads are lined with live oaks, where the world’s best oysters are shucked fresh from the Gulf and where the English Department is not your usual snakepit. The department offers both a traditional curriculum as well as innovative, dynamic courses in screenwriting, visual rhetoric, the history of print technologies, new media, editing and publishing, and more.
The Creative Writing Program now offers both the MFA and the Ph.D. and is affiliated with FSU’s top-ranked schools of Film and Theatre. The community of writers that’s taken root here includes winners of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award and a faculty known widely not just as writers but as teachers of writing. No program in the world has been included more often in Harcourt’s Best New American Voices. Recent graduates have published books with Hyperion, Norton, Viking, MacAdam/Cage, Penguin, Henry Holt, Simon & Schuster, Copper Canyon, Houghton Mifflin, and several university presses. Our students have published in The Atlantic Monthly, Esquire, The Southern Review, Harper’s, Ploughshares, and many other distinguished magazines.
