作为ODU英语系的一部分, the MFA Program began in 1994 with twelve students and three creative writing instructors. 时至今日,它仍在蓬勃发展, a range of 25-35 students work with the program's talented 7-member creative writing faculty in fiction, 诗歌, 和非小说. In addition to taking workshops and craft courses with the MFA faculty, our students take courses with dynamic faculty who have expertise in American, 英国, 世界文学, 还有文学理论, 电影研究, 和修辞. 在我们54小时的节目中, students graduate not only as writers but also as individuals competent in literary studies. 我们的学生成就很大, even while they are in the program: publishing fiction 和非小说 books with major publishers, stories and poems in national literary magazines and journals, 主要报纸上的文章和评论, 著名的引用, 奖, 和赠款.
