COVID-19 Announcement
As of today, Pitt has announced that all classes will be conducted online for the remainder of the spring semester, due to the COVID-19 outbreak. For our students, this means:
1. You should not return to student housing after break if you have other options (see below). There will be no classes to attend on campus, only online classes.
2. Your teachers will be contacting you over the next few days with additional information about how the online format will work for each particular class. Please be patient as instructors make adjustments and create online alternatives to regular class interactions.
3. Campus facilities and student housing will remain open for those who need to use them.
For more information, please see Chancellor Gallagher's letter about the changes to campus activities.

Graduate Testimonials
Sarah Wexler (Creative Nonfiction MFA 2007)
Freelance Writer
“
My classmates at Pitt were supportive, challenging, and always helpful, and the MFA public reading series helped form a solid writers' community. Also, the strict manuscript requirements and deadlines forced me to write more—and write better—than I would have in any other program.
