Since 1976, the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College continues to set the standard for the innovative low-residency model it pioneered. This rigorous, nurturing, and highly-selective four–semester graduate program, with study tracks in poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction, combines ten-day residencies on campus each January and July with five-month nonresident semesters in which students work individually with the country’s finest writers.
