MFA Literary Reportage at New York University

Programme overview

Journalism schools produce good reporters; MFA programs train beautiful writers. The Literary Reportage program combines the best of both. And, as of 2020, our students will receive an MFA, rather than an MA. Other than the degree, nothing about the program will change. The MFA is merely recognition of the merits and methods of the existing program. One advantage of an MFA is that it is a terminal degree, recognized as a teaching credential by nonfiction MFA programs.
