We are a program that prides itself on its diversity—of our eight faculty four are people of color and five women—and focus on experimentation and innovation. We do not believe that any arbitrary criteria of judgement or rankings can measure any program’s success or fit for a particular writer. We encourage those interested in our program to read the work of our award-winning writers.
