Canadian and US Creative Writing Degree Programs

What follows is a comprehensive list of the creative writing degree programs in Canada. The US list is partial only, as the country boasts more than one hundred creative writing schools, but what you see here are the most prominent programs. I will continue to add to the US list as I find more of them. If you know of a school not listed here, please click the link at the bottom of the page to let me know about it. I will normally confirm and post the contribution within twenty-four hours.
