It's about possibly transferring from a low-res to a full-res and whether earning a previous MFA renders you ineligible for another program. <br /><br />Here's some backstory:<br /><br />I'm planning to join the Peace Corps next Spring, but I want to get started on my CW MFA so I am applying to University of British Columbia (UBC)'s optional residency (distance) program. <br /><br />I'll be doing the program part time, so it's unlikely that I will be finished with the program when I return. However, there's always a chance I could finish my coursework in those two years while doing PC. I would love to transfer to a full residency program when I return, but I read (specifically on University of Texas's site) that a previous MFA disqualifies you - I've also been told they look at transfers skeptically. <br /><br />Here are the questions:<br /><br />1. Which programs would I be ineligible for if I earned my MFA? Which would I be looked at skeptically by?(Like UT). <br /><br />2. Are there any programs who actually like accepting transfers or people who already hold an MFA?<br /><br />3. Has anyone had transfer experience (specifically from Low-Res to Full-Res) they can share with me?<br /><br />4. Is this just an all around bad idea? Should I wait? I just really want to get started and I'd love to have a program's support pushing me forward.Sandy Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00224781838150826662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15642985.post-68948236574341477202011-12-11T15:03:08.581-08:002011-12-11T15:03:08.581-08:00I Like the post .

Now for anyone to find tenure work - that is a whole other ball game. But, my experience with talking to other writers is that it is less about where you obtained your degree and more about having it, teaching experience and publications.Jessie Cartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13181286764480973423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15642985.post-1775534118876781582011-01-22T17:59:02.978-08:002011-01-22T17:59:02.978-08:00Romo mentioned that "Antioch prepares the wri...Romo mentioned that "Antioch prepares the writer for life after graduation, including providing a Post-MFA Certificate in the Teaching of Creative Writing, should one decide to pursue it."<br /><br />My question is, how do traditional full-residency universities view a low-res MFA when selecting candidates for Creative Writing teaching positions (especially tenured)? Are low-res MFAs viewed as equal to full-res MFAs? Are there any negative or positive stigmas attached to the low-res MFA?Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02206342024283098691noreply@blogger.com
