In the capstone semester, students enroll in the MFA Thesis course, an advanced mentorship designed to complete a book-length manuscript of publishable quality. Students are required to complete four packet exchanges but also work one-on-one with their mentors, participate in intensive workshops, and engage in in-depth revision to finalize their drafts. This course may include workshops on how to intentionally and thematically organize and structure creative work so it shapes into a cohesive collection or whole. The final draft of the thesis follows MLA formatting guidelines. The MFA Thesis is always in the student’s genre of emphasis, and dual genre for approved students only. If students need more time to complete their thesis work, this course can be followed by CW 594  Extended MFA Thesis.
