Spalding’s School of Creative and Professional Writing offers a vibrant graduate learning experience that lets you dive deep into your writing within a dedicated, caring community of students and faculty. You’ll develop friendships and professional contacts that you’ll keep forever. And you’ll write—a lot—in a natural home environment that helps you develop the discipline and focus it takes to sustain a lifetime of writing. Watch this short video to listen to our alums tell their Spalding MFA stories—what they were looking for in a program, and what they found at Spalding. We think you’ll be able to see yourself here.
