Classes for Audit

At the start of each semester, the Solstice Low-Residency MFA in Creative Writing Program of Pine Manor College hosts a 10-day residency on our campus in Chestnut Hill, MA. A select number of classes are open to serious writers who wish to audit graduate level Craft, Criticism, & Theory courses and Elective Seminars.

Below you will find the list of courses that were offered at our January 2010 Residency, which was held from January 1-10 on the Pine Manor College campus.

Courses for our July, 2010 Residency, scheduled for July 9–18, will be posted in late April, and we will begin accepting registrations for July classes on May 15, 2010.

"I was glad to find out that Pine Manor’s MFA Program has some classes open to auditors. I ran into another auditor who is also a writer here in Boston and I think Solstice MFA classes can fill an unmet need for Boston's writing community —to provide bursts of momentum to working writers who may not want the intensity of instruction found in either an MFA Program or a long-term advanced level workshop but can benefit immensely from individual master classes."
