Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing
Since September 2006, the University of Guelph has offered an innovative Master of Fine Arts (MFA) Program in Creative Writing on the campus of the University of Guelph-Humber in Toronto. This is the only MFA program in Canada east of the Rockies. Workshops address the following genres: fiction, poetry, drama, screen-writing and creative non-fiction. Our stellar core faculty includes Dionne Brand, Thomas King, Janice Kulyk Keefer, and Judith Thompson. Defining characteristics of the program include plenary courses on “Writers on Writing” and “Writers in the World,” the participation of a wide range of well-established professional writers from Canada and abroad, and alliances with a number of cultural organizations in the Toronto area.
