Taken with a paired course in Mentorship and Creative and Critical Reading, the thesis course represents the culmination of a student’s experience in Augsburg's MFA program. At this time, a student completes and revises a book-length project worthy of publication under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Types of theses vary depending on a student’s primary genre, but the Creative Thesis may be a novel, a collection of short stories or poems, a screenplay or play, a memoir, or a book of essays. If a student’s manuscript is not deemed ready by his or her mentor, the student will be asked to take an additional semester of thesis work.
