Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing

What s unique about OSU-Cascades' ecological approach to the craft of writing is its investment in the whole writer. The geographies social, spiritual, physical, aesthetic, political each writer negotiates to get to the page are as various as the texts that give each one of us a purchase on this art. Together in the MFA in Creative Writing program we teach ourselves to work at least some of the time outside our comfort zones. By cultivating a passion for what s difficult about this art, as well the courage to celebrate our own and each other's adventures in self-expression, we tend the practical skills and whimsical experiments that grow writers with healthy writing lives.
