The Reinhardt MFA program consists of seven (7) to nine (9) semesters, depending on the student’s entry point, including three summer residency semesters. In between the summer residencies, standard fall and spring semesters include online courses and individual study with a writing mentor or guide.
The first summer residency includes a 1-day orientation period and introductory workshops for new students. Due to the extra contact time, new MFA students will earn nine (9) credits. Second year MFA students have a summer residency of 11 days and earn eight (8) credits. Graduating MFA students earn seven (7) credits during the final summer residency. The following schedule is based on the summer 2023 entry point. Students may also enter the program in fall and spring semesters. Contact the program director for information.
