University of California, San Diego - MFA Creative Writing Posted on April 22nd
The master’s degree program is intended to meet the needs of several groups:
(1) persons interested in possibly applying later, at UCSD or elsewhere, for admission to a Ph.D. program and wishing to strengthen their preparation for such a program;
(2) persons seeking a master’s degree only, for reasons of professional development or cultural enrichment; and
(3) graduate students who have been admitted to the Ph.D. program and who decide to qualify also for a master’s degree. The M.A. degree is currently available in five fields: Literatures in English, French, German, Spanish, and Comparative Literature. It is possible to take an M.A. in Spanish with a special emphasis on bilingual discourse. A proposal for an M.A. in Literatures in English with a special emphasis on creative writing is pending approval.
The Department does not offer a guarantee of financial support for M.A. students. M.A. students in the Department of Literature may enroll on either a full-time or part-time basis. Part-time students are eligible for a reduction of one-half of the educational fee and one-half of non-resident tuition, if applicable.
