<p>Hi. I'm a NYU Film student interested in transferring out to writing program.</p>
<p>Any information would be nice.</p>
<p>I don't know about Dramatic, but there are tons of schools that offer Creative Writing.</p>
<p>Are you interested in staying in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast? And would you still prefer a large, urban school?</p>
<p>judging by your username, i'm assuming that you're female :) I have heard good things about Bryn Mawr's creative writing program.</p>
<p>yes, I am female. I'm trying to survey a bunch of schools so don't necessarily leave a suggestion out because of location. Though I love being in a city, there is no campus at NYU and it's too big for itself. That being said, I want to go to a real college. thank you for the suggestion of bryn mawr. I'll look into it.</p>
<p>Barnard and Kenyon college for creative writing.</p>
<p>A simple search would yield tons of results, as this has been asked many times.</p>
<p>I think CMU has a good program.</p>
<p>Oberlin's creative writing program is very strong, and very tough (you have to apply to be accepted into each class, even once you've declared the major).</p>
<p>If you want a real campus try Iowa. The state has the Writer's Workshop and colleges around the area frequently have famous writers drop in on classes. There are several big universities in Iowa that emphasize creative writing and other genres. We found colleges that have creative writing programs thru a link at the "Poets and Writers" website.</p>
<p>I second the suggestion of Kenyon and add Amherst and Sarah Lawrence.</p>
<p>What about NYU's dramatic writing program? I'm considering applying their next year. Since Tisch is pretty small does that make it feel like a "smaller" school in a sense? That's what I was hoping since NYU is so huge. What things didn't you like about it? Were classes in the film program small?</p>
<p>Also, I would second Sarah Lawrence, my sister just graduated from their (She did a lot of writing and theater classes) and she loved it.</p>
<p>BTW joe, unless you're creative portfolio is VERY strong and your academic numbers are tops, I would suggest doing what I'm doing, apply to CAS, which is more forgiving in terms of gaining admittance (still not easy though with a 29% accept rate).. do well your first semester there, use the time to polish up your poems/shorts stories/creative essays for your portfolio submission and apply for internal transfer into Tisch the first chance you get... yes, it's a bit of a pain but it's better than getting rejected by Tisch and not being at NYU at all IMO..just my two cents.</p>
<p>===================</p>
<p>Elvenqueen:</p>
<p>I have no clue why you would want to transfer out of Tisch, it has one of the strongest Creative Writing Programs in the country, even the minor in creative writing offered by NYU is only accessible through review of a creative portfolio, so in both cases, entrance is selective and the faculty is top notch. I am transferring in this spring as a sophmore (CAS) and I intend to try and gain admittance into Tisch for the Creative Writing program after I complete my first semester (which is required before I'm allowed to apply for internal transfer)...</p>
<p>Anyway, maybe you have already decided that Tisch is not right for you and you have no interest in taking Creative Writing there but the program has a high reputation..good luck whatever you decide.</p>
