Worst graduate department ever. The faculty are stuck in the dark ages of academics and mostly focused on their own agendas. So many technophobes. There are one or two professors who are absolutely wonderful, but they are outnumbered by professors who are so set in their ways that they refuse to try anything innovative in classrooms or their research. Hardly any of them are forward thinking or use best practices when it comes to teaching. The creative writing track is an utter joke, with only one poetry professor who is in love with himself and two creative writing instructors (maybe down to one now?) spouting the same cookie-cutter nonsense you can find in any writer's magazine for $2.99. If you actually work for a living, good luck in finding a class taught after 5pm. I would highly recommend anyone interested in serious study to find another program even if it costs you a little more. I regret the years I wasted in this program and I am now on the hunt for something better.
