The MFA in Creative Nonfiction at Goucher College offers non-traditional students nationwide an exciting and challenging graduate level writing program that balances original writing with critical reading. The program is normally completed in two years and includes four semesters of work, three summer residencies, and an internship experience. What distinguishes Goucher's program from other graduate creative writing programs, including those that take advantage of the limited-residency format, is its exclusive focus on a single genre. The program is also distinguished by its strong professional focus on writing and publishing. William Least Heat-Moon.
