We held our first international residency in 2024, taking students to Venice, Italy. You may be wondering: What is it like to experience the MFA residency overseas? How is the content? Who do the students meet and where do they go on our excursions?

Here’s an opportunity to get an inside look on our international adventures: Join the Alma MFA in Creative Writing for our next virtual open house. Our MFA students will share their side of this very special experience—an experience that could be yours if you take your place in our artistic community!
