Writing Colleges

I suggest trying out community colleges. Their non-credit programs are usually a bit more creative than their credit programs, but even those are less expensive than at universities. You can also check on places like Meetup.com for writing groups that may be in your area or that are hosting workshops... Craigslist.com also has a section dedicated entirely to writing.

I remember such course being offered while working in the graduate school office of the school where I used to study. If you don't want to take the pre-requisite courses, then you could take such class as a certificate or non-credit course. You will just be there to learn and not gain units. The school's name is University of San Carlos here in my country.

You might check the community colleges for continuing education classes. Your city may have continuing education classes through their parks and recreation department, as ours does. Also, the state university here offers what they call community classes they offer that are not for credit. Check your weekend newspaper for meetings of writers' groups. Then ask them about where classes are available. You might want to join a writers' group to get feedback on your work. And there are independent learning classes on the internet or through the mails. Check a copy of Writers Magazine for those. But I majored in English in undergrad school and all those "random classes" really helped me broaden my thinking and fed my creativity. So don't rule out other subjects. And take a basic grammar class. So many writers want to be successful without having the solid foundation of the language. They may have creative minds and good ideas. But if they don't have basic language skills, they won't get published. And keep writing!

a lot of colleges require you to take a lot of other random classes to write .
