The NYU Creative Writing Program, among the most distinguished programs in the country, is a leading national center for the study of writing and literature. The undergraduate and graduate programs provide students with an opportunity to develop their craft while working closely with some of the finest poets and novelists writing today. The Creative Writing Program now occupies a lovely townhouse on West 10th Street in the same Greenwich Village neighborhood where so many writers have lived and worked. The Lillian Vernon Creative Writers House allows writers—established and emerging—to share their work in an inspiring setting. We invite you to join a supportive and serious community of writers engaged in an exceptional program of study.
The NYU Creative Writing Program offers an MFA in Poetry , Fiction , and Creative Nonfiction . GRE test scores are no longer required for admission to our graduate program.
