Gifts to MFA contribute to...
Your donations are used exclusively to support students in the Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing.
Southern’s MFA in Creative Writing is a full-residency, terminal-degree program, preparing students for careers as publishing writers, teachers, editors, and professionals in the publishing world. With a curriculum that heavily focuses on the writing workshop and the creative thesis, the M.F.A. also requires students to study literature at the graduate level and provides opportunities for students to train for teaching collegiate-level writing.
The MFA Fund supports a program of students and teachers who not only read each other's work, but who are also deeply invested in each other’s writing and efforts to publish, who hold informal reading groups during the summer months, who regularly socialize with one another and with visiting writers, and who forge relationships as friends and writing peers, even after completing the program. Additional funding supports the MFA’s Visiting Writers and Editors Series, which brings nationally-renowned writers to campus to read from their work.
