With an MFA in Writing for Children & Young Adults, you can teach creative writing at the university level. Every #HamlineMFAC student writes a critical thesis and presents their research to their peers and professors.

Because of the Hamline MFAC program, I was able to advance from a lecturer to an associate professor of writing! You'll also be able to teach composition and literature courses. Such an exceptional program! Fall application deadline is September 1st! #WritingCommunity #kidlit👇
