The School of the Art Institute of Chicago's (SAIC) Department of Writing brings together a community of writers and artists at one of the nation’s most influential colleges of art and design. We seek students who thrive in a challenging, self-directed, and experimental environment, in which the literary arts are a living and open field.
Saturday, December 02 12:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. CST
Graduate SAIC Days offer prospective students the opportunity to get portfolio feedback from faculty from individual departments during one-on-one meetings, plus learn more about all SAIC's graduate degree offerings, tour campus, and learn more about financial aid.
SAIC's Graduate Programs offer a priority deadline and reduced application fee before December 1.
Submit your application and portfolio by January 15 to be considered for fall 2024 admission and merit scholarship.
At SAIC, students have a unique opportunity to explore writing both within and between genres, and to creatively connect with visual art practices throughout SAIC. We welcome students from all programs across SAIC’s diverse, interdisciplinary community who wish to pursue writing as part of their education and creative practice.
Our distinguished alumni are widely published and cultivate the literary landscape.
