TUITION AND FEES

A nonrefundable deposit of $50 is required with all applications.

Tuition for the Low-Residency Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program of Pine Manor College is $5,000 per semester (starting January 2009, tuition will be $5,250 per semester). This includes all workshops, classes, seminars, panel discussions, one-on-one sessions with faculty mentors, and readings during the 10-day residency (which launches the semester), and independent study with the student’s faculty mentor throughout the semester.

The tuition fee for the graduation residency—the culmination of the MFA program—is $400, which includes the graduation ceremony. Please see our Program Overview for more information about graduation requirements.

The residency is an integral part of each semester, and takes place on the Pine Manor Campus. Students may choose to live on campus during the residency. Double rooms are available for $33 per night, and single rooms (which are limited, and available on a first-come, first-serve basis) cost $44 per night.

Any student may opt to purchase the three-meals-a-day plan for $162.00.  This includes dinner on the first residency night and brunch on the last day.  All meals are served at the college’s centrally located cafeteria. Students also have the option of paying cash at the door for individual meals.

Once accepted, students will be sent room and board request forms.

Books each semester will vary in cost, depending on the reading list developed by the faculty mentor and student.
