<p>I second Columbia. I don’t know if UNC has an undergraduate creative writing program, but I do know that it has a great journalism program. </p>
<p>UVa recently created a Media Studies Program a few years back that focuses on video, web, and print media. Regarding Creative Writing, eventhough I frown upon the US News rankings, the last time they ranked Creative Writing Programs, UVA was #4. Professors in the program include Anne Beattie, Gregory Orr as well as Pulitzer prize winners like Charles Wright and Rita Dove. Dove is also a 2-time U.S. Poet Laureate. Furthermore, this year 3 UVa grads garnered top honors. Franz Wright ('80) won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for “Walking to Martha’s Vineyard.” Edward P. Jones ('81) won the Pulitzer for Fiction for “The Known World.” (Jones also won a MacArthur “genius” Award a couple months ago.) Lastly, Lisa Williams ('96) won a 2004 Rome Prize Fellowship in literature to study poetry in Italy.</p>
