Writing MFA Programs in California

Graduate School
1

<p>Hello! I'm totally new to this site; found it doing a google search on the above topic, actually.</p>

<p>I know about USC's Master of Profession Writing and I've send away for information on it.</p>

<p>Does anyone know of other post-B.A. level writing programs in California, or is there a book or something that someone can steer me toward? I'm thinking of enrolling Fall '06.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>The most prestigious film programs in which one can receive an MFA in screenwriting are USC, UCLA, and NYU. A few others specifically in California are California Institute of the Arts, AFI, and Chapman University. But check out the L.O.A.F.S. guide to film schools - you'll see that there are many more options available:</p>

<p>Another list that might be of use to you is princeton review's list of MFA screenwriting / playwrighting schools, though the L.O.A.F.S guide is far more comprehensive: </p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>I heard that UCI has the best creative writing graduate program in the country. It might be worth checking into. Also, UCR has a creative writing department.</p>
