Whats the best undergrad program for creative writing?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I'm looking for a school that places an emphasis on creative writing and not so much on literature within their english program. I want to go somewhere within reasonable driving distance of a main city and I dont want to go anywhere tiny. So no schools in Methville Kansas with like 500 total enrollment.</p>

<p>I've identified Emory, NYU, UVa(although a bit heavy on poetry), Columbia, and Cornell as viable options. You got anywhere else?</p>

<p>By the way - Ive heard great things about the U of Iowa but is there any real draw there other than the english program? I'm not really into corn farming</p>

<p>Bard College.</p>

<p>Hopkins and CMU immediately come to mind. Aside from those, do a search.</p>

<p>This barely scratches the surface. Literally hundreds of threads have been posted about creative writing over the years.</p>

<p>Try Boston University, I’ve heard great things about their English program.</p>
