About this campaign
Fall 2024 marks Western Connecticut State University's Master of Fine Arts in Creative and Professional Writing's 20th anniversary! All proceeds from t-shirt sales support the MFA Scholarship Fund, which provides financial assistance for students to attend our residencies at the Highlights Retreat Center in the Pocono Mountains and the Dublin Residency at the Oscar Wilde House.
A Practical Education for Working Writers
https://www.wcsu.edu/writing-mfa/
Students in our MFA program understand that one of the most important skills a professional writer can have is versatility. Students choose a creative genre as well as a professional genre.
Here, there is no genre hierarchy or arbitrary boundary between genres. All students take workshops and courses with writers of all genres and styles, learning how different approaches and craft techniques can inform their creative and professional writing. Our students are poets and grant writers; playwrights and copy editors; horror novelists and technical writers; investigative journalists and speech writers; young adult authors and PR specialists; and so much more!
Our low-residency model allows students to build a writing habit into their professional and personal lives. Through internships and teaching practicums, students apply their coursework in their field of choice. These features, in tandem with our emphasis on multiple genres, are some of the reasons why our student success rate is so high: 87% of graduates go on to publish books and/or work full-time as professional writers or educators.

Bc I love my nephew Anthony Daries who has worked hard on behalf of this group of writers!
Great program!
The experience of being part of the WCSU MFA family (Class of 2022) is like drinking hot cocoa on a frosty winter day. Faculty and colleagues nourish you with their constructive and kindhearted feedback. You work hard, you share ideas, and grow.
I loved being a part of the writing department at wcsu and am forever thankful for how it shaped me as a person. I’ve always hoped to give back to it someday and in someway - even if it’s a small gesture like this.
Love this program!
I love how supportive the MFA program is at WCSU. Love the sense of community!
