<p>How are the English or writing programs at American? If they’re not good, what would you say is the best school for English-related things in D.C.?</p>
<p>My son placed out of the writing/literature requirements with his AP credits, but he has taken two literature electives with heavy writing requirements that he enjoyed very much.</p>
<p>Thanks, that’s reassuring 
I’m not sure what I’m going to major in just yet but English and creative writing have always been my passion, and while I should really probably settle on something more practical, I want to go to a college where that’s focused on at least somewhat. In my school district, English is basically a joke and it’s really frustrating, and I don’t want a repeat of that in college. However, I’d also really love to go to school in Washington D.C. Academics comes before location to me but if I could have a good school for English/writing that’s also in my favorite city, that would be awesome.</p>
<p>if you are interested in journalism or public relations, AU could be a good choice for you.</p>
<p>If you give me your email I can hook you up with a friend who majors in creative writing.</p>
<p>I’m taking a class with him called African Writer and he seems to really love all the literature/creative writing courses. And from the 3 lit courses I’ve taken (not a lit major), the program isn’t a joke here and won’t be a repeat of high school for you.</p>
