Who will really teach you
Many MFA programs can give you a dazzling list of faculty: famous writers, household names who have taught in the past, who sometimes teach, or will occasionally teach in the future. Maybe they will be there when you arrive, or maybe they won’t be. You should really ask. If you listen closely to the answers, you will discover that the following promise is rare and precious: at Hunter, there are only three teachers in each of the disciplines. These are our faculty. These are the writers who will really teach you. What you see is what you get.
To see who will teach you, click Fiction, Poetry, and Creative Nonfiction.
While it is very helpful and instructive to know that Adam Haslett is the Director, in most cases, the single most important person in the department is Program Manager Mike Rizzo. Mike is a graduate of the program and hasn't forgotten how things work from a student's perspective. Please feel free to contact him with whatever questions you might have, whether academic, bureaucratic, artistic, or financial.
