Just about every college has at least one or two creative writing classes. How do you choose which one to take? What makes one class different from another?
There are a few things to consider in choosing a creative writing course. First, you need to know what you expect to learn. Are you seriously interested in selling your writing, and so you have a professional interest in improving it, or are you simply curious and interested in writing for your own enjoyment, but want to improve?
If you're interested in making money selling your writing, it's especially important to know if the teacher has been successful selling work. A writer may be successfully published in small literary journals or tiny presses but may not actually earn income. Many writers write for the joy of creativity, and don't make money. It's particularly difficult to earn income selling poetry, for instance, because there are fewer paying markets for poetry, but many places that will publish poetry.
Before taking a creative writing class, look at the biography of the teacher. Has the teacher published? Where? Does the teacher write the kind of thing you're interested in writing? It can be frustrating to take a class from a teacher who is only interested in literary fiction or poetry, when you want to write sf or mystery novels, or the other way around.
Be very aware that one of the best ways to learn how to improve your writing is to take a class that's built around workshopping. Workshopping means everyone reads the piece by one writer, and thinks about what works and what doesn't, what confused them or made them want to stop reading, what they loved, and what needs more work. The readers share their impressions with the writer. It can be very hard to critique someone else's work effectively and helpfully, but it can be very hard to learn to take criticism and not react negatively. Remember that readers can't make you change your work, but that you should pay attention to what they have to say.
