We recently featured a student from Miami University on our podcast, MFA Writers. The show is meant to be a resource for prospective applicants, as well as highlight emerging writers. There's a lot of opaqueness around the MFA application process and we aim to provide greater information and transparency. The goal is to provide an opportunity to hear from real creative writing students about their experiences in their programs.
If you're interested, MFA Writers is free and available on all major podcasting platforms (and some minor ones, too). You're always welcome to reach out to us with feedback or program requests, as well. We want this to be an informative and useful resource for emerging writers.
Thanks all!

Regis University’s Mile-High MFA in Creative Writing is a low-residency program that lets you stay at your job and close to your family while pushing you to make time for writing. You’ll leave the program with a polished thesis manuscript, along with an action plan for putting your writing into practice in the world.
The Mile-High MFA provides students one-on-one instruction in poetry, fiction or creative nonfiction. Along with theory, workshops, seminars and readings by accomplished authors, the MFA program’s unique focus combines a thorough instruction in the craft and business of writing with the practical application of writing as a career.
Jesuit Vision The Mile-High MFA celebrates the ways in which storytelling impacts our social and cultural lives, promotes social justice, and enacts change in the world. Our program is a place for writers from various backgrounds, genres, specializations, and aesthetics to come together and learn from one another in an open and supportive environment. We value writers who are socially engaged, who critically examine the assumptions and social privileges of discourse, and who seek to further a literature and community that respects and values diverse perspectives and authorships. Our program emphasizes anti-racist, liberatory, and humanist pedagogies, stemming from the Jesuit values central to our university.

View Full Degree Curriculum and Requirements
The Mile-High MFA requires the successful completion of four 16-week writing semesters and five ten-day residencies. Students will begin with an Orientation at their first residency and end with an MFA Degree Ceremony in their final residency. Following each residency (except the last) will be a semester-long study in which students will work one-on-one with a faculty mentor. By their final residency, students will have written and revised 240-400 pages of prose (fiction, nonfiction) or 160-240 pages of poetry, hybrid or flash fiction, along with at least 16 book annotations, a thesis proposal, a book-length thesis, a critical preface to their thesis, a Writing in the World Action Plan and an MFA Portfolio.
During the residencies, you will attend seminars on the real-life applications of writing. By your final residency, you’ll submit a Writing in the World Action Plan in which you describe how you will use your writing talents to contribute to your community, either in a professional capacity or through community outreach. Examples include running a writing workshop at a local prison or library, writing for a nonprofit, organizing a reading series or running an after-school “Teen Writers” workshop.
In addition to study in the major genres of poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction, our program offers a Graduate Workshop exploring the publishing world (market trends, working with agents, first book deals, query letters, and more).
This specialization will require 12 additional semester hours, for a total of 67 credits. Dual-genre students will take three residency workshops and three semesters in their main genre (i.e. the genre in which they will write their MFA thesis) and two residency workshops and two semesters in their secondary genre.
This specialization will require 12 additional semester hours, for a total of 67 credits. Creative Writing Pedagogy students will take four 3-credit ($555 per credit) 8-week online courses (Writing as Social Action; Creative Writing in the Literature Classroom; Literary Criticism and Theory; and Writing and Rhetoric of Nonfiction) via Regis University’s MA in Literature and Creative Writing.
The BA/MFA dual-study degree allows undergrads to earn a semester’s worth of credit towards their master’s degree while completing undergraduate credits, so students can earn a master’s degree in one year.
Prerequisites
Program Features
Twice a year, in January and July, students will attend ten-day residencies, from Friday evening to the following Sunday afternoon, with an “Intermezzo” on Wednesdays. Residencies are inspiring, invigorating gatherings of like-minded writers that provide students with the opportunity to learn their craft, workshop their writing, attend readings by award-winning writers and immerse themselves in the writing life.
Morning workshops.
The Mile-High residencies offer concentrated periods of time when students can hone their writing in small peer workshops orchestrated and facilitated by our faculty. The workshops will take place every morning and include some writing lessons/prompts by the faculty member, critiques of student work by faculty and peers, and group discussions of a variety of writing issues. Students will attend a minimum of six of the seven workshop classes to receive credit for their residency.
In the afternoons, students will attend seminars on the theory and craft of writing, as well as panels on interpretations of canonical and contemporary works, on examples of “Writing in the World” projects (ways in which one may make use of their writing talents for the public good), on the teaching of writing, and on the business of writing and publishing, and readings by current students, alum, faculty, or visiting writers. Students will attend a minimum of ten craft seminars, panels, and/or readings to receive credit for the workshop portion of their residency.
A unique feature of the Mile-High MFA, our Wednesday “Intermezzo” is an opportunity for students to pull back from their busy activities and enjoy what our campus, the Mile-High City, and the Rocky Mountains have to offer, or to enjoy some quiet writing time. Revitalized by their Intermezzo experience, and with a strengthened sense of community among students across genres, students will dive into the second half of their residencies with renewed fervor and focus.
Every residency will feature public thesis defenses, when our graduating students will formally defend their theses.
At the end of each residency we will celebrate our graduating students in an MFA Degree Ceremony. All students, as well as family and friends of the graduates, are invited to attend. The ceremony includes a formal welcome from our Assistant Director; an excerpted reading of the best Critical Preface of the graduating class; excerpts from the graduates’ theses; and descriptions of the graduates’ Writing in the World Plans.

There have been rumors swirling about a potential relationship between Las Vegas Aces superstar A'ja Wilson and Miami Heat standout Bam Adebayo all summer long.
Neither Wilson nor Adebayo have come out and confirmed these rumors. But because they've been seen teasing each other on social media, sharing a secret handshake after Wilson won a gold medal with Team USA at the Paris Olympics, and seen in photos together that look like a date, fans are convinced that the romance between these two basketball icons is a poorly kept secret at this point.
And more fuel was poured onto this metaphorical fire on Wednesday morning when a broadcast of Adebayo (along with a handful of other local Olympians) getting presented with the Key to Miami-Dade County was shown on X .
Local news reporter Will Manso posted a video of Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava speaking about Adebayo during the ceremony, saying, "Last, but tallest, Bam Adebayo. And I didn't say before, Team Gold medal!"
Adebayo then presented Cava with a signed jersey in exchange for the key.
The Heat’s Bam Adebayo, along with a handful of local Olympians, presented the Key to Miami-Dade county this morning. pic.twitter.com/o5VWFwejXg — Will Manso (@WillManso) September 4, 2024
Later on in the ceremony, Cava said, "Yeah, A'ja Wilson, and she won gold in women's basketball."
The broadcast then panned to Wilson, who was sitting in the crowd.
Cava continued by saying, "I guess that has something to do with Bam and the Heat, huh? Being here today."
Wilson can then be seen shrugging sheepishly then laughing at the mayor's words.
Also special Olympic shoutout to A’ja Wilson who was at the event. 🥇 pic.twitter.com/oUOJlEaDah — Will Manso (@WillManso) September 4, 2024
Seeing Wilson (who was sitting with Adebayo's family) there to support the Heat superstar — and then getting called out by the Mayor for it — has fans convinced that the relationship between the two Team USA gold medalists has finally gone public.
It’s public🤞🏽🖤 https://t.co/oCGjSRYdEt pic.twitter.com/qoWHX4D6P0 — Vanshay Murdock 🎥🎥 (@VanshayM) September 4, 2024
