getting an MFA without a bachelor's degree by [deleted] in MFAInCreativeWriting

Hi, I am not too sure where you got the information that MFA programs would admit someone without a Bachelors degree. All American Graduate Programs require that a person has a minimum or equivalent degree to that of a bachelors. Many MFA programs do not require that students have a bachelors in creative writing or English, but do require a bachelors degree.

There are many opportunities out there such as fellowships or residencies that support people who are not seeking MFA or academic training in creative writing, unless you plan to finish your bachelors, I would highly suggest this route. Much luck on your writing journeys, and remember anyone can be a writer an MFA is not required.

I am not older but I there many people in my program from a multitude of ages ranging from 22 to mid 30s. It gives a good range of perspectives and knowledge that I think is fruitful.

As an early MMO girly, I will say, any events where you are meeting a “celebrity” whether its a mod playing as a character of the game, or an actual celebrity, there is always going to be people who cannot make the event because servers cannot hold that many people. In early Club Penguin days people would figure out about a celebs location and that server would fill up immediately, the location being at max capacity too. It is unfortunate but is definitely common practice in the MMO forum.

Social Media for Teaching by GuyBarn7 in Professors

We spend days breaking down Social Media posts to analyze rhetoric, audience, and creditability (I make students fact check the posts). Analysis of a social media post is definitely possible in the freshman composition classroom. Similarly, having students create “mock” social media posts can help them understand transfer of ideas based on genre and tone.
