Creative Writing – Vanderbilt University

The Creative Writing Program

Creative Writing has been a vital part of the Vanderbilt English Department for nearly a century. Now each year a small, select class of talented writers of fiction and poetry enroll in Vanderbilt’s two-year MFA Program in Creative Writing, and many undergraduates who major in English choose a special concentration in Creative Writing.

Nashville and Vanderbilt: a great mix of progressive Southern culture, creative energy, and academic distinction.
