For the last 100 years, the Otis College of Art and Design has established itself as the nation’s preeminent provider of art and design education. The college offers a number of programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, including a master of fine arts (MFA) in writing program, as well as various programs for youth artists and designers.
Students enrolled in the Otis College MFA writing program have the unique opportunity to develop their craft in an environment dedicated to aesthetic and thematic innovation. Encouraging students to follow their art wherever it may lead, the Otis writing program permits graduate students to work in any genre and does not require them to announce a concentration.
Otis writing workshops bring together poets, authors, and essayists, a structure that allows students to explore less familiar modes of writing as they borrow from other genres and learn from both instructors and peers. The program features a number of special advantages, such as the opportunity to work at the college’s small publishing press and access to Writing Colloquia, which involves faculty and students collaborating on future MFA curriculum.
