[https://www.english.txstate.edu/mfa/ Texas State MFA Homepage] The Texas State University MFA Program at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas, is a three-year graduate-level creative writing program in the United States. Fiction writer Doug Dorst is currently the director of the program. The faculty includes many award-winning writers. It was cited by The New York Times as having the vision "to build a program that might rival the famed Iowa Writers' Workshop." Texas State's MFA program ranked 45th out of 131 full-residency graduate writing programs in the Poets & Writers survey for the application year 2012.[1] As of Fall, 2018, 90% of Texas State MFA students are receiving full funding through a combination of scholarships and assistantships. [2] M.F.A. students staff Porter House Review, the program's new literary journal (debuting Fall 2018), which will feature established and emerging writing from around the world. Working for the publication will allow students to gain experience as editors, work with visiting instructors from across the publishing industry, and earn up to six credit hours for their work.[https://porterhousereview.org Porter House Review] Faculty
Endowed Chair in Creative WritingEach year, the Endowed Chair in Creative Writing teaches one graduate MFA workshop. The Chair holder also visits classes and gives two readings. MFA students may take a workshop with only one Endowed Chair holder. National Book Award Winner Tim O'Brien held the Chair every other year from 1999 through 2012. Now, as our professor of creative writing, he teaches six MFA workshops annually. Every workshop is open to every student. Previous Chair holders include the poet Ai, Barry Hannah, Denis Johnson, Robert Stone and Cristina Garcia. [4]
