<p>Does anyone know of some LACs/universities with really strong creative writing programs? I don't necessarily mean a major, it could be a minor or a really challenging course.</p>
<p>The LACs often mentioned for creative writing are Kenyon and Knox.</p>
<p>Thanks! 
Any others?</p>
<p>Rhodes has a creative writing concentration in the English major. Just had a group of alumnae come back for a night of readings on campus…</p>
<p>Oberlin, Hamilton, Wesleyen</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins is famous for its Writing Seminars.</p>
<p>It took a little searching but I found the thread from the spring that had lots of recommendations:

U Redlands, U Denver, Johns Hopkins, Denison, Emerson, U Oregon, UC Riverside, UC Irvine, SF State
Beloit, U Pittsburgh, SUNY New Paltz, Knox (Il) </p>
<p>I would add to this: Barnard</p>
