Low Residency Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing (MFA)

Residencies of ten days each will take place the second week of August beginning August 2009. August 7-16th 2009 will be the dates of the first residency session. Students will be housed on the beautiful Chatham campus in Pittsburgh for the duration of the residency. Details about lodging will be provided at least two months ahead of time. The residency will consist of workshops, craft lectures, panels and readings with some of our mentors and other well-known writers. Graduating students will be asked to read from their theses at their second residency session. Each session will include a trip to a nearby site such as Falling Water or Nine Mile Run.

Students will need to register for the summer residencies by June 1 each year. A detailed schedule of each residency along with names of participating writers and editors will be published six weeks before the residency.
