Description:
The program was started in 1971 by Gordon Weaver. In 1977 Frederick
Barthelme took over as director. The Center is part of the Department of
English and operates out of shared offices on the Hattiesburg campus.
Writing students make up more than half of the graduate students in the
English Department, and they come from colleges and universities all over
the country, recently from Stanford, Vassar, Michigan, Harvard, Johns
Hopkins, Tulane, Texas, Cornell, Columbia, and others. The tone of the
program is serious but informal. Workshops are offered in fiction,
nonfiction prose, and poetry by the Center's faculty, and there are the
usual specialized readings courses and traditional scholarly courses
available. There is a student magazine, Product, as well as an ongoing
student reading series, and the Center also publishes the Mississippi Review
in print and online versions. Applications are accepted year-round. Students
generally start the program in the fall, though there are openings and
occasionally teaching assistantships in the spring. Admission is based on
writing sample, Graduate Record scores, GPA, letters of reference, Statement
of Purpose, and academic record; considerable weight is given to the writing
sample, sometimes advancing a candidacy that might otherwise seem less
strong. Teaching assistants teach two courses per semester and receive a
$10,000 or $15,000 stipend plus a full waiver of tuition and out-of-state
fees. There are several types of financial aid available for those who
qualify. The M.A. in English with creative writing emphasis is a 30-hour
degree that ordinarily takes two years to complete and culminates in a
thesis that is a collection of poetry or fiction. The Ph.D. is a 54-hour
degree almost identical to the literature doctorate and is usually completed
in three years.
