Here is what other Wiki Contributors have to say about the topic:

• San Francisco State University has one of the finest departments in the country. I received my MFA in 2004 in Fiction and feel it was the best experience of my life. San Francisco is a mecca for great talents who will come speak and educate, the instructors are stellar, and the city itself is a wonderful source of learning in its own right. You may also consider the University of Iowa program.

You can obtain this information by clicking on the related links section (College Board) indicated below this answer box, which will take you directly to the site. You can research colleges and universities by name, or by programs of study, or by geographical location, size, or combinations of part or all of them. The site will provide you with a list of institutions based on your request.

WARNING!!!

When choosing a college or university, make sure the institution has a regional accreditation. With a regional accreditation you can be assured the coursework and degree you complete will be recognized by all other colleges and universities as well as employers. Below I have listed the six accrediting agencies and their geographical areas of responsibility. I am disclosing the below so you do not become a victim of educational scams, and institutions that are nothing more than diploma mills, where they are eager to take your money for a degree that is worthless. Make sure the institution is accredited by one of following responsible agencies.
