Welcome to the Low-Residency MFA Program in Creative Writing

The paradoxical truth about writing is that it demands both solitude—the time and space to think and write without distractions—and community to sustain that work too.

The low-residency MFA program at Queens University of Charlotte is expressly designed to meet both of those demands. A community of writers in-residence and on-line, the Queens MFA program brings together experienced and emerging writers for intensive seven-day residencies on campus twice a year and connects students and teachers on-line throughout the rest of the year as they work on their writing in the privacy and comfort of their own homes.

The Queens MFA program offers an intensive course of study in the craft and profession of writing with instruction by dedicated professionals and a low student-teacher ratio that is never more than four to one. It is aimed at committed writers who want to hone their craft without uprooting their lives and are willing to take on the professional and creative challenges that will help them transcend their limits as writers and achieve new levels of skill and vision.
