Emerson College is an independent, privately supported, coeducational, specialized college committed to bringing innovation to arts and communication education. Founded in Boston in 1880, Emerson is the only four-year undergraduate and graduate college in the country devoted exclusively to communication and performing arts.
Emerson?s graduate programs equip students with the professional skills needed to build careers. Whatever field of communication and the arts inspires you, Emerson provides the means to achieve success: outstanding faculty; nationally recognized programs; thriving urban centers surrounding Emerson?s state-of-the-art facilities in Boston and L.A.; and a dynamic mix of dedicated students. Small class size and mentoring relationships allow Emerson?s faculty to share their unique professional perspectives, and Emerson?s facilities provide virtually limitless access to equipment on the cutting edge of innovation and advancement.
Situated in the heart of downtown Boston, Emerson offers access to the vast resources of a city that is home to the nation?s finest educational institutions and an international hub of culture, media production, writing, publishing, communication, commerce, ad medical innovation. Boston is a career launching pad for Emerson students, many of whom intern or work at world-renowned organizations throughout the city. Emerson students from across the country and around the world absorb the city?s unique blend of local and global culture, many finding that Boston is an education in itself.
Emerson College offers several financial assistance programs that make a graduate education possible: merit-based awards (domestic and international applicants), low-interest federal loans (domestic applicants only), federal work-study (domestic applicants only), private loans (domestic and international applicants), Student Employment (domestic and international applicants), and alternative payment plans (domestic and international applicants).

CREATIVE WRITING
Ranked by U.S. News & World Report as among the top programs of its kind, the Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program is one of the nation?s largest, giving students the breadth and depth of experience and instruction that smaller programs cannot.

Workshops are limited to twelve, allowing students to receive personal attention from our distinguished faculty. Because the goal of many is to publish, the MFA in Creative Writing program exposes writing as both an art form and a professional pursuit.
