MA Writing?

[amandaslav]

I recently discovered DePaul's MA in Writing and Publishing and am very interested in the program. Has anyone here applied/taken the course?

Also, does anyone here know of other university's that offer a similar program? I like the diversity of the course offerings- you're able to take writing workshops in a variety of genres (from fiction to travel writing- my main area of expertise) and also take classes on grammar, publishing, linguistics, etc. If you know any other programs, please let me know.

Thanks!

Towson University also has Professional Writing (http://grad.towson.edu/program/master/prwr-ms/) but it's an MS, not an MA. I started out in that program after undergrad, but left it for literature. It was pretty decent though. I got a magazine article published after just 2 semesters in the program. But it's totally unfunded, unless you can scrap for one of the few assistantships. Most people just work in the area because all the classes are offered at night.
