Creative Writing - Long Island University - Brooklyn NY

Creative Writing from Long Island University - Brooklyn NY is a Campus Master Writing degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The M.F.A. in Creative Writing offers writers the opportunity to work on poetry, fiction, and/or cross-genre projects ranging from the contemplative to the experimental and avant garde. Elective courses are offered in playwriting, screenwriting, translation, creative nonfiction, and autobiography. The poetics of the program places an emphasis on explorative work that takes risks while moving in the context of multiple traditions, as opposed to that of a conventional and commercial orientation. We look closely at links between writing and theory and at interconnections between writing , reading, music, and painting. In a small and intimate program setting, we offer easy access to faculty and strong mentoring and take into account the interests and concerns of individual students. A limited number of assistantships and fellowships is available for six credits of tuition remission and a stipend as well as partial two year scholarships. The assistantship/fellowship sequence is designed to train graduate students to teach college composition. Students usually begin by working in the Writing Center as a tutor (Teaching Assistant) and may then apply for a position as a Teaching Fellow and teach English 16 in the English Department's First-Year Writing Program.
