The online experience is vibrant. I wish they used technology in a more innovative way. It seems that an online school could develop programs other than Blackboard. The teachers are competent and my classmates have been thoughtful.

The MFA program is the best online program you can get. It has a great mix of literature, craft and workshop classes, which is far superior to other online MFA programs that do not have these options. The faculty is great, as is the program director who is very involved throughout. Tuition is very low compared to other online programs.

As a writer, this program has stretched me in many ways. The instructors are not only experienced writers themselves, but also skilled at teaching craft to others. The student population, especially amongst the online-courses, is vast and diverse providing an extensive set of view-points and skill-sets.

The pros are: excellent faculty, wonderful school

The online courses are designed to be challenging and engaging for the student. Although I'm not in a classroom, I feel like I've gotten real value from each of my classroom "sessions." It is hard to develop a network, however, as an online student.

I am doing the program 100% online because I am an Air Force spouse who will be moving around the globe every 2-3 years. This program has been extremely supportive, accommodating, and helpful. I really enjoy the staff, student support, workload, and the material. It's been wonderful for me, and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to study creative writing.
