Question
Dear Susan,

I'm not sure if you're the right expert here, but I'd like to know where I can find information about an online degree in creative writing. Which means: I'd like to study Creative Writing online, with perhaps some actual presence at the university where I'd enroll toward the end (exams perhaps).

Could you help me? Where can I find an appropriate college/university, or - if this is not your special field of knowledge - could you advise me where to turn to get information?

Thank you so much in advance for any relevant information on this!

Best wishes,

Tom

Answer
Hello Tom:

Thank you for writing.

It is difficult to answer your question without more information - are you after a BA or MA? I assume you'd like a nearby college in case you must spend some time on campus, so where are you?

In any case, I googled "creative writing degree online" and came up with 243,000 hits, among them:

http://www.worldwidelearn.com/liberal-arts-humanities/writing

http://www.universities.com/On-Campus/Bachelor_degree_English_Language_and_Liter...

http://www.uscollegesearch.org/english-creative-writing-colleges.html

The actual page on google is

http://www.google.com/search?q=creative+writing+degree+online&rls=com.microsoft:...

Somewhere in there you should find what you are looking for.

I also teach writing (I've a BA) for $2.50 per lesson.

I hope this helps. If it does, a nice rating would be greatly appreciated. I am proud of my high scores over 1350 questions.

And good luck with your writing!
