Mile-High Writing

Mile-High Writing Located in Denver, CO. A two-year, low-residency Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing located at a small liberal-arts college in the Mile-High City.

Mile-High Writing at Regis University hosts a residential BFA and a low-residency MFA in creative writing that celebrates the ways in which storytelling impacts our social and cultural lives. ("Low-residency"= work from home and come to campus twice a year for a week-long residency involving workshops, craft seminars, and readings.) Go from book idea to completed book manuscript in two years, and

learn more about writing than you ever knew possible along the way! Distinct features:

- the only low-res MFA in the Mile-High City

- the lowest student-faculty ratio in the country (3:1)

- the only program requiring a "Writing in the World" action plan

- One of only two low-res MFAs offered by Jesuit universities (Jesuit = academic rigor + care of the whole person)

- the only program that offers a "ski day" (during the January residency) and a "whitewater adventure) (during the July residency). Learn more at www.regis.edu/mfa
