Program Details
Take your poetry to the next level of maturity and inspiration with Saint Leo’s online MA in Creative Writing in Poetry. From children’s rhymes to sonnets, you can learn how to improve your composition, style and technique. SLU’s online MA program is a blend of writing and literature study, whereby your curriculum will be individualized to your own writing goals, as a collaborative effort between you and a faculty mentor. Courses are likely to include:
- Theory and practice in creative writing
- Worship in poetry
- Foundations in poetry
All of Saint Leo’s online MA writing programs require three on-campus residency weeks. The first and third are bookended around the 2-year program, and the other residency takes place during the summer in the middle. Outside of these on-campus requirements, you have the utmost flexibility to complete writing projects and learn at your convenience entirely online.
