>MFA Program Rankings

>For what it’s worth, Seth Abramson has a detailed discussion of Creative Writing MFA Program Rankings. There are no low-residency programs in the rankings, although Bennington and Warren Wilson are listed in a separate list of programs to watch. I suspect those two are included because they’ve been around a long time–but I think a closer analysis would put good old Queens University of Charlotte, whose program began in 2001, on a par with these more established schools.
