Bernard Cooper is one of my favorite authors. On the website it looks as though he only teaches MFA courses. Is this true, or would it be possible to take a class with him as an undergrad? — Asked by Anonymous

Unfortunately, Bernard Cooper is not a member of the literature faculty for undergraduate students. Several of the literature faculty for our undergraduate program teach in the MFA in Writing program (which is low-residency and here when we are off at Field Work Term or summer break) and I know that faculty that teach in the MFA program have been hired to teach us undergraduates too in the past (sometimes as regular faculty and sometimes as visitors for a term or two). That being said, I wouldn’t count on Bernard Cooper being hired to teach you.

These are the literature faculty this term:

Marguerite FeitlowitzAnnabel Davis-GoffMark WunderlichDan HofstadterRebecca (Becky) GodwinCamille GuthrieJohn GouldMegan Mayhew-BergmanAlexandar Mihailovic, and Brooke Allen

In the fall Doug Bauer teaches and I know that we are right now searching for two more literature faculty members (one of whom will be a poet). 

One last thing: While the MFA program is here when most students are not, I know that I’ve had several friends who have been hired as program assistants and have gotten to stick around and sit in on lectures and readings!
