Ryerson College in Toronto is respected for its arts programs. York University as well. I attended Brock University in St. Catherines. It's a smaller University but it has excellent arts facilities (Three full size theater's) and and excellent student teacher ratio. (in my fourth year there were four students and being taught by six teachers, so we each received excellent individual attention))

The Arts Institute in San Fran is excellent. But for a good theatre program, check out this list: http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/majors/brief/major_50-0508_brief.php\n\nGood luck.

English and creative writing is a fantastic degree scheme and can be more easily applied to many job/career prospects where the need for literacy is greater in many jobs today.  There is a high demand for teachers, so you would easily get into this no matter what degree scheme you followed.\n\nSomething practical and vocational such as engineering requires enormous math skills and so you would have to excel in A-Level math before even applying to University unless you are passionate about mechanics - your math would have to be outstanding.  Social work is also another good route to take and you only have to do a diploma for this and is very good paid employment.  Sports science is another popular area of study, but there is some amount of math required for this, but it will require you to be physical yourself and is fairly creative.\n\nArt and craft are excellent of course, but they are very competetive industries to go into to and very few artists ever get to sell their works because there are just too many competitors around and you would have to make this your life-passion as with writing.  \n\nDepending upon your age and ability, I would look at the options open to you first and find out exactlet what is involved with each one that interests you, because like you, I am also very creative but to get into the world of art of all genre, is not as easy as it sounds and artists tend to be the poorest of working people because they have to spend out thousands just exhibiting their works and then trying to sell them. I have many friends who are arists of all kinds and not one of them can make money from their works and they are very talented people.\n\nIt is sad that it is this way, but you have to be outstandingly unquie amongst all other artists and even then, you come into difficulties because of the competiveness of the industry.  You would be more likely to succeed in an acting career than in the art world but acting can be very difficult to get into and also requires exceptional talent.\n\nI am not trying to put you off - Just want to give you the facts that I know of and what you do will be your choice and you should always do whatever appeals most to your personality and character.  Though like everything, it requires determination and commitment.  Talking to a career's advisor will help you and to put you on the right track you want to follow.  \n\nGood luck.

Morristown is a nice place, but I would check with some people who have direct contact or expereince with the University,  I generally like the feel of smaller liberal arts schools myself, and find that some of the best and healthiest student-teacher-school relationships are found there.  Not saying anything bad about big-box schools, it is all about what is best for you. Oh, and please for the sake of your future don't for a second take anything in US News and World Report's "college rankings".  Those rankings are compiled with one thing in mind only, making USN&WR money, not trying to help you find the right place for you.

Well, I don't profess to know a lot about universities, but I'd say that Washington State University is a pretty good college for journalism, if not the best.  I guess it depends on where you live and how much you are willing to pay for college.  Edward R. Murrow got his degree at WSU, and they named the School of Communication after him.  On the website it says their school of communication (which includes journalism) is ranked 12th in the nation.  Which isn't the best, but it's pretty good.  I hope that helps answer your question.

I believe that Columbia University in NYC has a very strong teaching graduate program. They are Ivy league. NYU also has a very strong program.

A lot of people might tell you to sign up for creative writing courses, but as far as developing skills and techniques that will directly benefit you in other classes (and later in life), I recommend any classes that deal with "literary criticism" or "expository writing." They basically involve reading a lot and then writing essays on what you've read.  You get to be creative but at the same time there is a structure to this kind of writing that you won't usually get with creative writing classes. Not everyone likes having to write this much, but if you haven't been required to do a lot of writing thus far, you'll definitely feel proud of yourself who you produce a paper like "Symbols of Life & Death in Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis."\n\nAn example from the course catalog at the school I once attended: \n\n"This course presupposes some familiarity with a range of readings, but the core text is F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, which we will examine through various critical perspectives: psychological, sociological, and historical. We will examine some theories of literature and their critical methods, with frequent imitative exercises and a final paper in which you will be able to demonstrate sophisticated use of one of more of these critical approaches in the discussion of another novel."\n\nLots of "critical" this and that = lots of serious, thoughtful writing.

I believe that the California College of Arts and Crafts offers courses. It's in Oakland.

Being from New England, I only know schools around here, but I'd suggest Bard College (Annandale-on-Hudson, NY), Bennington College (Bennington, VT), Simon's Rock College of Bard (Great Barrington, MA), or Emerson College (Boston, MA). I have friends at Bard and Emerson who love them. I think they all offer other areas of study, but I'm not sure if there are core requirements that would discourage you.

University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh\nSmall teaching college, inexpensive, close to home, good teachers\nDominican University for second Masters\nVery cool building of stone and ivy--looks like it belongs in a gothic movie.

Give money to English literature programs in Universities please.  Thank you.  San Diego State has a nice one that is under-funded.
