Re: [Moonshade] MFA Programs [In reply to]	Can't Post

Hello All,

I wonder if any of have had any experience with SCAD? I live in Savannah and well it is the only school that has an MFA program here. I am applying there but after hearing all your concerns about a MFA degree netting you a job I am a bit concerned. The MFA as I understand it at SCAD is not comprised of just writing in poetry, but rather it focuses on Business Writing, Writing for the web, Creative Non-fiction and if offers Fiction and Poetry only as electives. I was just wondering are there any graduates from SCAD on here?

34 fully funded programmes [In reply to]	Can't Post

In the P&W article on 2011 rankings, it says that there are 34 fully-funded programmes. Is there a list of these? Or do I work my way through the P&W list to find them?

Re: [Moonshade] MFA Programs [In reply to]	Can't Post

we are in the same boat.... I also sub here in california and it pays $105 a day...I truly enjoy seeing the kids and interacting with them. I started a credential program (here in california single subject credential programs are a year long, plus all the "pre candidate" course work one has to do--so it can take up to 2 years before you start student teaching) but realized that all the red tape that you mentioned simply killed my ambition of being a teacher. there are days, when i'm subbing, that i regret dropping out. those days get worse when i hear of past classmates that have landed teaching jobs, but i don't let them bog me down too much, but it does kinda sting. but the worst days are when the students ask me "so do you want to be a REAL teacher? or just a sub" it's those days that get the best of me
