===Writing===

The program offers degrees in creative writing, with concentrations in fiction, non-fiction, and poetry.

Master Class faculty have recently included [[Helen Vendler]], [[Jonathan Lethem]], [[Colson Whitehead]], [[James Wood]], [[Richard Ford]], [[Han Ong]], [[Susan Choi]], and [[Jonathan Ames]]. The writing division also employs prestigious writers as seminar and workshop instructors; these have recently included [[Gary Shteyngart]], [[Nathan Englander]], [[Myla Goldberg]], [[Adam Haslett]], [[Jessica Hagedorn]], [[Phillip Lopate]], [[Marie Howe]], [[Eamon Grennan]], [[Paul LaFarge]], [[David Gates (author)|David Gates]], [[Francisco Goldman]], [[Darcy Frey]], and [[David Ebershoff]].

==Future==

As part of Columbia's expansion into the nearby neighborhood of [[Manhattanville]], the School of the Arts will move from its current cramped quarters in Dodge Hall, on the [[Morningside Heights]] campus of the university, to a substantial new building, to be located on [[125th Street]], that will be one of the centrepieces of the new campus there. To be completed in the first phase of the expansion, the new building will be designed by Italian architect [[Renzo Piano]].
