Best College Reviews recently named the Arcadia low-residency MFA Program in Creative Writing to its top 20 online master’s degrees in the United States. The University is ranked 13th among schools such as Emerson College, The University of New Orleans, and Arizona State University.

Noting small class sizes, the study abroad component in Edinburgh, and a finished manuscript at the program’s end, Best College Reviews calls the program “a challenging track, providing a comprehensive background.”

Schools were ranked based on the range of online courses in creative writing; presence of genre specialization options; field credibility of creative writing faculty; flexibility of online degree track; recognition from respected education publications and/or recent alumni; and noteworthy features of the online program.

Find out more about the MFA program at the upcoming online information sessions on Jan. 23 and Feb. 6.
