Subject areas: Fiction, Poetry
Faculty: Tony Ardizzone, Catherine Bowman, Richard Cecil, Maurice Manning, John McCluskey Jr., Alyce Miller, Scott Russell Sanders, Maura Stanton, Samrat Upadhyay
Length: 3 years
# of credits: 60
Tuition per year: $5084 (residents); $13 206 (non-residents)
Application materials: Submit to IU Graduate School: Online Application to Graduate School, $50 application fee; submit to Creative Writing Program: 3 recommendations, GRE scores (GRE general test required; GRE subject test in English not required, but if you’ve taken it they’d like to see the results), transcript, personal statement, statement about the teaching of creative writing, writing sample
Deadline: 15 Jan. (fall), no spring admissions
Financial Aid: Each student in the program receives financial aid, usually in the form of a graduate teaching assistantship, and all or nearly all incoming students are awarded supplemental fellowships, which reduce the teaching load during the first year. (2004-05 first-year teaching assistantships began at $12 150 and covered tuition and most fees—no later figures are available.) Aid is typically for 3 years, during which Associate Instructors (AI’s) teach 3 courses annually. Students have the opportunity to work with the Indiana Review and the summer Indiana University Writers Conference; summer teaching and stipends are also offered. More fellowship info: exceptional students are awarded $1 K to $10 K fellowships by the department (these are comprehensive rather than “per year”). University fellowships can go as high as $14 K to $17 K per year plus tuition, or $1.5 K per year plus reduction of tuition to resident rates.
Acceptances per year: 12 (6 fiction, 6 poetry)
