Although not an MFA program, Ohio University offers a M.A. and a Ph.D in creative writing.
Ohio University is one of the first universities in the country to offer a Ph.D. in Creative Writing. It is home to a thriving, widely respected graduate program with concentrations in poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction.

- Nationally competitive graduate stipends, up to $15,000 per year, with opportunities to teach a wide range of courses, including creative writing workshops
- Generous graduate student travel funding
- Editorial fellowships on New Ohio Review, Quarter after Eight, and Brevity
- Opportunities to interact with distinguished visiting writers, including funding for long-term mentoring arrangements
M.A. candidates complete two years of study and write a thesis of creative work in their genre. Doctoral candidates must complete five years of study, comprehensive exams, a major critical essay, and a creative dissertation.
