    • BENNINGTON WRITING SEMINARS MA/MFA PROGRAM IN WRITING AND LITERATURE THE COURSEOF STUDY The Bennington Writing Seminars at Bennington College offer a low-residency Master of Arts (M.A.) or Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) degree in Writing and Literature. This two-year graduate program involves intense ten-day residency periods at Bennington College during Januaryand August of each year. To complete the program, four semesters and five residencies are required. Between residencies, students spend the six-month semesters corresponding directly with faculty who teach as part of the program's core staff. Additionalfaculty participate as associate staff during the 10-day residency periods, teaching literature from a writer's point of view. The five residencies feature workshops, readings, lectures and discussions of literature, and an ongoing investigation of what constitutes the world of letters. In keeping '0.ith Bennington's progressive tradition, the course of study in the Seminars is largely self-structured by the student. Students, in consort with the core staff, form their own reading lists, and submit interpretive and original work-fiction, nonfiction, and poetry-forcritique at regular intervals throughout the semester. The tutorial and development of individual work is at the heartof the program, as it is at the heart of Bennington College and its other graduate programs in dance, music, and the visual arts. Students are expected to devote at least twenty-five hours each week to their writingand reading, and a successfully completed semester's work is granted sixteen hours of graduate credit. To receive the M.F.A., each student will create and submit a manuscript of fiction, nonfiction, or poetry at the end of the program.
