With apologies for cross-posting...

The first year of the Simmons College MFA in Writing for Children program at The Carle is coming to a close. As we anticipate the first cohort's completion of their degrees next year, we are delighted to announce the expansion of the Simmons/Carle partnership offering graduate programs in children's literature at The Carle. We are currently recruiting students for fall 2009 admission in the following programs:

MFA in Writing for Children A 32-credit MFA program taught at The Carle This program consists of four academic courses and four writing courses, including a two-course sequence in which a student develops a manuscript from conception to submission.

MA in Children's Literature A 36-credit MA program taught at The Carle This program consists of four electives and the following five required courses: Criticism of Literature for Children, The Picture Book, Contemporary Realistic Fiction, Fantasy and Science Fiction, and a historical literature course.

MFA/MA in Children's Literature Students who wish to pursue both degrees may combine both master's programs in a 56-credit course of study that includes core requirements for both programs.

Upcoming information sessions will be held at The Carle on:

Sunday, May 3 4:00 - 6:00 pm (current MFA students will be present)

Sunday May 31 4-6 pm

Thursday July 18 4-6 pm

Please help us spread the word.

Many thanks,
