They have a very small, tight-knit undergraduate program with faculty such as Rae Armantrout for poetry and Sarah Shun-Lien Bynum for fiction (who mentored me). Eileen Myles resigned this year for poetry but I think they may have some new candidates coming onboard.<BR/><BR/>It's my dream to teach there as well when I'm done with the MFA program.<BR/><BR/>UCSD is also opening an MFA program in 2009/2010 once all the paperwork and funding are processed.<BR/><BR/>They've also had visiting speakers like Alice Notley.R.T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02583017912707300954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15642985.post-16059838671028337942007-03-28T20:04:00.000-07:002007-03-28T20:04:00.000-07:00I am currently a Beloit undergrad in the Creative ...I am currently a Beloit undergrad in the Creative Writing program, and it seems to me that the program is only going to get better as more and more people come here for it. A new poetry professor was just given tenure, and her work and classes are unique and appropriately rigorous. I know students who create their own workshops as well, outside classes.El Odioso Señorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03948954393727340988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15642985.post-1167872262674656702007-01-03T16:57:00.000-08:002007-01-03T16:57:00.000-08:00Another wonderful undergraduate writing program is...Another wonderful undergraduate writing program is at the University of Maine at Farmington. The program has about sixty BFA majors, a great diversity of offered workshops, and I cannot praise the faculty enough. Alice James Books is located on campus, and internships are available to all BFA majors. Plus, it's cheap (especially for Maine residents, like me).Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08515403197903571603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15642985.post-1166427239116189662006-12-17T23:33:00.000-08:002006-12-17T23:33:00.000-08:00I've never been a student at Beloit College, but I...I've never been a student at Beloit College, but I live near by and have heard many good things coming from the students there. I know when/if I decide to go for my Master's degree I will undoubtably go to Beloit College...though it will be an interesting path if I do.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991258877647816722noreply@blogger.com
