Bachelor of Fine Arts in Creative Writing +

Undergraduate program director.

With its focus on the study of important works, this degree combines literature courses and writing workshops to explore students’ talents as creative writers. Each student is required to take the 21-credit Creative Writing core, in addition to 39 credits taken in writing, literature and theory, and elective courses.

Bachelor of Arts in English +

Under the guidance of faculty advisors, majors complete a program in one of two areas of study: literary & rhetorical studies and journalism. Each student is required to take the 15–credit English core, in addition to a 27-33 credit area of study.

Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing +

Graduate program director.

Hours in thought, in books, on the keyboard. Hours talking with each other and visiting writers about how to create something extraordinary in the world. The MFA program requires 36 credits of coursework, 21 of which are in creative writing. The remaining 15 credits can be chosen from a variety of literature, rhetoric, and digital humanities courses. Among these electives are courses connected with the Fowles Reading Series and Tabula Poetica, and independent study is also possible.

The MFA is a terminal degree in creative writing. Chapman University sees the MFA as a beginning, too. Many MFA graduates teach at two- and four-year colleges, publish their work, or go on to professional careers in writing and editing. In recent years, students have graduated with a Fulbright Fellowship, a poem or story in a literary journal, and acceptance to a PhD program.

The dual degree combines the MFA in Creative Writing and the MA in English. The dual degree combines the practice and study of creative writing with literary scholarship. It is designed for students who intend to pursue a career in teaching English and creative writing at the university, community college or secondary-school level.

Master of Arts in English +

The Master of Arts in English is designed for students seeking continuing education, a foundation for doctoral work (PhD, EdD, JD) and/or a credential qualifying them to teach literature and composition courses at junior and community colleges. Full-time students complete the degree in two years. All graduate classes are offered in the late afternoon or evening.

The Master of Fine Arts is a terminal degree in creative writing. Many MFA graduates teach at two- and four-year colleges, publish their work or go on to professional careers in writing and editing. The MFA program at Chapman fosters the growth of fiction writers and poets through workshops, techniques courses, literature courses, the John Fowles Reading Series, Tabula Poetica: The Center for Poetry at Chapman University and the literary journal Calliope.

Prerequisites

Students seeking admission to the program must have a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution. In certain cases, students may be required to complete specific prerequisites before or during their first year of enrollment.

Admission deadlines, application review

Fall Priority Deadline: February 1 Spring Priority Deadline: November 1

Fall applicants must submit the application including all supporting documents by the Priority Deadline to be considered for any fellowship or scholarship award. Applications received after the priority deadlines will be considered on a space available basis.

All applicants must provide the following materials:

  • Official transcripts from ALL degree-granting (bachelor’s or master’s degrees) colleges and universities attended. An official transcript submitted in a sealed envelope which you have received from your college or university is acceptable.
  • An essay expressing your reasons for wanting to join the particular academic program to which you are applying. What are your personal and career goals, and how will this particular degree from Chapman University help you reach those goals? Your essay should be double spaced, size 12 font, and 1-2 pages in length.
  • Two letters of recommendation that speak to your academic preparation, intellectual ability, and aptitude for graduate study.
  • A portfolio of creative work to be evaluated by the MFA faculty committee. You should submit work that you believe best represents your style and demonstrates your potential. The portfolio should include a minimum of either 25 pages of fiction or non-fiction, 10-15 pages of poetry, or the first 15 pages of a screenplay or stageplay. Be advised that the purpose of the portfolio is to demonstrate your creative potential as an MFA student; however, you should also be aware that literature courses will also be part of the degree and you should be comfortable writing critical essays as well. The portfolio should include a signed statement that the creative work is the sole product of the applicant.

Transfer policy

Students admitted to the MFA program with an earned master’s degree in literature may transfer up to six credits of graduate coursework upon approval of a petition by the program coordinator and the dean of the college. (See Academic Policies and Procedures    for transfer policies.)

A copy of the thesis project and the committee’s evaluative report must be filed with the Department of English office.

Students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.000 “B” to meet the minimum eligibility requirements to enroll in the thesis preparation class. (See the Academic Policies and Procedures    section for additional guidelines.)
