The Literary Arts Program at Brown University is a graduate MFA and undergraduate creative writing program. About The Literary Arts program was established in the mid-1960s by poet, translator and critic Edwin Honig. In spring 2005, the Program created its first undergraduate concentration in Literary Arts. Brown's program accepts poets, fiction writers, and writers working with digital media. Admission is highly competitive; only five poets, five fiction writers and two electronic writers are admitted per year. The program is distinct in that MFA students are encouraged to work across genres. Students are only required to take one course beyond workshop, allowing time for writing. During the first year, students are either proctors, working for the department, or fellows, switching half-way through the year to the other. The second year, students teaching one undergraduate course of introductory workshop in either fiction or poetry or an intermediate workshop. During their final semester, graduating students are required submit their thesis, generally regarded as a book-length work in their genre or, in some cases, across genre.
