M.F.A. in Nonfiction

at Goucher College

Goucher's M.F.A. in Nonfiction Program is ideally suited to a writer's development, providing you with the one-on-one supervision of a faculty mentor, while allowing you the freedom and solitude to develop the skills and discipline you need to succeed. 

The low-residency format enables us to recruit faculty members from around the country who have excelled both as writers and teachers of nonfiction. Coming from successful careers as published authors and as editors and writers for such publications as The New Yorker and Atlantic Monthly, they are adept at working with a wide range of student interests—narrative, memoir, personal essay, literary journalism.
