M.F.A. in Creative Nonfiction
"The faculty to student ratio allowed my mentors to thoroughly respond to and inform my writing, and these working relationships fostered wonderful writing workshop groups that challenged me as a reader as much as a writer. Goucher's network and reputation facilitated my initial entry into the world of agents, editors, and the professional support I would need once I received a diploma.”
