<p>I'm interested in creative writing. Does UF offer a good program. Here is a link to a page on the UF website I found that I think is for creative writing: Department</a> of English | Graduate Programs - MFA in Fiction & Poetry </p>

<p>Does anybody know if it is any good or has a good reputation?</p>

<p>This post discussed “Rugg’s Recommendations” on creative writing schools.</p>

<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1060990154-post6.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1060990154-post6.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>3 things…</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Rugg’s Recommendations are not to be taken as gospel truth.</p></li>
<li><p>UF isn’t listed in undergraduate schools for creative writing.</p></li>
<li><p>UF IS listed in graduate school for creative writing.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>My opinion? You don’t have a top notch grad school in a subject area without the undergrad program having some positive qualities.</p>

<p>I would feel comfortable with UF for creative writing. (But I would also check FSU which has good credentials as well.)</p>

<p>Agree with Joe: [The</a> English Department at Florida State University - Creative Writing](<a href=“http://www.english.fsu.edu/crw/]The”>http://www.english.fsu.edu/crw/)</p>

<p>FSU, by all accounts, has a really great creative writing department.</p>

<p>Just as an aside, I believe that one of the FSU professors was chosen to pick up the mantle and write the 3rd of the Godfather books. (After Mario Puzo passed away.)</p>

<p>That gives you an idea of the quality of creative writing professors at FSU.</p>

<p>But, with that being said, I think UF would provide you a quality undergraduate creative writing education.</p>
