Qualified applicants will be awarded teaching assistantships. The faculty will first consider the quality of the manuscript, and then the evidence of achievement shown by the undergraduate record, GRE scores, and letters of recommendation. These amounts may be increased. Tuition wavers are normally provided for teaching assistants. Students nominated for these fellowships are asked to complete a fellowship form and write a brief personal statement.
Students take one workshop each semester.
The thesis is an original manuscript of fiction or poetry, but an exceptional student may submit a thesis in both genres. The student works on this manuscript under the direction of one of the writers. Please assemble all items and mail in one large envelope to the address below. Your letters of recommendation should be in sealed envelopes signed across the flap. Submit official transcripts only.
