Northeast Ohio Universities Consortium - MFA Creative Writing Posted on April 26th
Established in 2005, The NEOMFA is unlike any other program in the country. A consortium of four universities: Cleveland State University, Kent State University, The University of Akron, and Youngstown State University, the NEOMFA’s unique collaborative design allows students to take advantage of an award-winning faculty of 26 members and to concentrate in the writing of poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction.
In addition, we are among just a few programs in the country offering a playwriting concentration, and one of three programs with an internationally recognized faculty who offer a concentration in literary translation. The number and variety of our faculty guarantees consistent individual attention to student work during the period of this 48 credit hour degree.
The range of concentrations gives students the opportunity to take classes with other writers from different backgrounds and in different genres. An annual series of readings and visiting writers in all genres supports our regular curricular offerings.
