Earn a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing from a program open to transfer students, adults, and nontraditional undergraduates and connected to a prestigious graduate program. Work with faculty mentors who are themselves acclaimed writers and join a community of ambitious and talented peers.

The New School offered the first academic creative writing workshop in 1927 and pioneered a new philosophy of education. The idea: Students would make their own lives and stories part of their education. Today The New School continues to celebrate and cultivate daring and diverse new voices through its highly regarded MFA in Creative Writing program, the Summer Writing Intensive, and the BA in Creative Writing. Students in any major may also apply to The Writing and Democracy Honors Program.
