Resource Thursdays: UCLA Extension

May 28th, 2009

Something about graduating soon must be making me sentimental, otherwise I wouldn’t be so gung-ho about shelling out more money to UCLA.  The UCLA Writer’s Extension Program has gotten rave reviews from a lot of writers I have talked to, so I’ve been browsing through their course offerings.  The program, which has an open admissions policy, offers courses in creative writing and screen writing from beginner level to master level writers.  There’s an extensive list of instructors with serious writing and publishing credits.  If you’re a Los-Angeles based writer, this is a perfect opportunity to sharpen your skills, though the program also offers online courses for non-locals.  While I do need a little bit of an academic break for the time being, I will certainly be looking into some of their Children’s Market classes in the future.  It’s just a shame for a school with such a great creative writing reputation that the undergraduate programs don’t actually offer a creative writing major.  Just another one of life’s ironies, I guess.
