Teaching in the Writing Program

The Writing Program (WP) is an independent entity from the MFA Program and English Department. Each year, it serves more than 4,000 undergraduate students in their First Year Writing classes (Basic Writing and College Writing). The instructors for these classes predominantly consist of MFA and English PhD graduate students. These positions are generally retained for 6 semesters, or the 3 years of the MFA program. Teaching Associates in the Writing Program teach a one-two course load for a total of three courses during an academic year. (Note: This load is modified to accommodate visa regulations for international students.)

Any MFA student who has a position with the Writing Program, or is considering applying for a position, should become familiar with their website and be in regular contact with the WP administration about expectations and requirements.
