The low residency BFA in Creative Writing Program is the best training a student writer can get. The low residency model mirrors the student writer’s post-college life—the self-discipline and routine of writing as a daily activity, creating work to a deadline, all without the interruption of attending classes and workshops. The advisor/advisee relationship is a focused and direct exchange; an exchange that emulates the future writer/editor relationship. Student writers in Goddard's low residency BFA in Creative Writing Program produce work without too much outside influence, ensuring that each voice is idiosyncratic, fresh, and true to the writer who generated it. Students leave the low residency BFA in Creative Writing Program with a complete draft of a creative manuscript that has gone through a number of revisions, as well as a deep connection with a group of writing peers, many of whom will sustain them once the degree is in their hands and the work of writing continues.
