The College of Charleston MFA: A new program with a long tradition.

We’ll be starting our first classes in the MFA program in creative writing this fall, but the Department of English at the College of Charleston has long been dedicated to writing and the celebration of literature. Take a look at this list of writers who’ve visited the college over the last forty years to get an idea of both the tradition of the program and of the caliber of writers we’ll be bringing every year and with whom you can study the art of the written word. It’s a long list, but we’ve been appreciating writers and writing for a long time around here. Applications are being accepted now for this fall—apply now!
