Creative writing/cool majors?

<p>I'm trying to keep ALL my options open.
i don't care so much where I go to school as long as I can do what I wanna do you know?</p>

<p>But I'm also considering creative writing as a major (and yeahi know you can't do much but it'll be a fun way to get a degree, and challenging...but if you like the material, you'll be more apt to do it, eh?)</p>

<p>(oops i'm not canadian either!)</p>

<p>So do you know of any UC's that have creating writing?
Thanks! :)</p>

<p>i know UCR does not sure about the others. [url=<a href=“http://www.google.com%5DGoogle%5B/url”>http://www.google.com]Google[/url</a>]</p>

<p>UC Irvine I believe</p>

<p>I’ve been looking into that a bit myself. I’m a Psych major, but want to supplement that with either an English minor a creative writing program. I know Cal has a creative writing minor, UCSD has a Literture/Writing major, UCSB a Creative Studies in Literature (?) and ya UCR, but I don’t think I would go there… I’m also looking at USC’s Creative Writing program, it’s suposed to be really good.</p>

<p>I would LOVEEE to go to usc–good school, gorgeous campus – but unless they give scholarships to 3.6 gpa students i can’t haha.</p>

<p>It can’t hurt to try, they give out a lot of scholarships :)</p>

<p>haha true, true dat. but i’m dirt poor so we’d have to see haha
i htink a school like ucla is a better deal but idk!</p>

<p>The English major at UCLA offers creative writing emphasis</p>

<p><-----english/creative writing major </p>

<p>the truth is they all offer atleast some form of creative writing, yet it differs from campus to campus.</p>

<p>uci is known for having one of the best MFA programs in creative writing. keep in mind that’s graduate level, but i’m sure their undergrad is pretty damn good.</p>

<p>in my opinion, ucsd and ucr are probably the best for getting serious practice with you’re writing because they offer actual writing majors, while most of the other UC’s offer English majors w/ an emphasis in creative writing( in other words, your an english major + 3 creative writing workshops). At UCSD and UCR i know they offer workshops each quarter in all areas of writing, from short fiction and poetry, to creative nonfiction, novel writing, screenwriting, etc.</p>

<p>At the end of the day tho, it really doesn’t matter too much when it comes to creative writing…</p>

<p>actually, it’s better to be dirt poor bc they give you more need based financial aid $$, rather than if you have some money, they expet you to use every last penny then get financial aid</p>
