We are happy to announce a new relationship with the School of Education at Boston University. Those of our students who are inclined to pursue a teaching career may apply to the Master of Arts in Teaching program, where they will have reason to expect a generous scholarship and, after only one further year, a position in elementary or secondary teaching in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In other words, where other programs offer an MFA after two or three years, we offer, for those who might be interested, two degrees, one in Creative Writing, the other in teaching. We believe that writers often make the best teachers and are committed to improving the classroom experience for everyone in the Commonwealth. We also offer exciting paid internships at the Boston Academy of the Arts, a pilot school near Fenway Parkway, in which our students may work with some of the most talented high school students throughout the Boston Area.

The city is expensive, a bit provincial, and troubled in various ways; but it is very beautiful, lively enough, and you can walk from our offices to Fenway Park and get a ticket for that evening's game. Speaking of our offices, they are located on the second floor of an old and pleasant building on a charming street of turn-of-the-century townhouses. All of our faculty, including the teaching fellows and our program coordinator, are grouped together pretty much around the lounge where many of the workshops are taught. If you twist your neck a little, you can see a bit of the Charles and sails dipping and tacking along it. For added convenience, the rest of the English Department takes up the top three floors.
