Welcome to the ASU MFA page, connecting our students, alumni, faculty, and friends with the latest news, readings, and upcoming events. The ASU MFA in Creative Writing has been an ascendant, exciting, evolving program over the course of its thirty-year history. Our program is unswervingly student-first, offering small classes, community outreach opportunities, three semesters of one-on-on

e mentorship, and full funding through teaching and research assistantships, which are renewable for each of the program's three years. Our faculty and alumni have received national and international attention, generating Guggenheim, Fulbright, and NEA fellowships, as well as Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award nominations. The program was ranked within the top 20 MFA programs in the nation by U.S. News and World Report, and is consistently ranked among the “top-tier” three-year programs in poetry and fiction in the most thorough online evaluations of creative writing programs. We are also the home of Hayden's Ferry Review:
