The Tiferet Journal aims to foster peace through literature and art.

The Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing degree is offered by the Creative Writing Department of the Division of Graduate and Professional Studies, and represents the study of literature from the perspective of the writer rather than that of the critic or the scholar. The reading and analytical components of each semester project, and the variety of lectures offered during the residencies, provide opportunities for a well-integrated humanities-based curriculum, without sacrifice of direct manuscript work and criticism. The MFA in Creative Writing graduate is well-prepared in literature (especially the student’s primary genre) as well as in writing and should be an attractive candidate for teaching positions, especially if s/he/they chooses to pursue the program's Post-MFA Certificate in the Teaching of Creative Writing. However, no one should be encouraged to enter or continue in the program if the student seeks the degree mainly for employment purposes. The MFA in Creative Writing program's goal is not to credential, but rather to help students with their writing and their creative education.
