money for creative writing at USC


stillsearching

Recommended Posts

Hi

I'm an Indian and I have an admit to the Master of Professional Writing Program at USC for fall 2008. It's an expensive course, working out to about 27000 USD. (around 19 lakh). I was wondering if you know alumni from the course or could help me with some contacts so that I could get an idea about the kind of job opportunities or earning capacity after completing the program. Since writing is a pretty unstructured course/industry as compared to an Engineering or MBA course where it's easy to say what a starting salary will be like, I don't want to take a huge loan until I know that the jobs I might get will be decent enough for me to be able to repay the loan. I also wanted to know what I should do to apply for aid/scholarships from USC itself. Can you please help? I'm really interested in doing the course and don't want to pass up this opportunity since admission itself is really competitive. Thanks a ton.

Hello,

 

I'm kinda in the same situation. I'm still in the application stage, but I plan to apply to USC's Master in Accounting program which will cost me roughly 50K. Even if I do get accpeted, not sure if its going to be worth the investment as there are state schools that will cost me a fraction of the cost for the same degree. The accountant job market is strong, but salary/compensation tend to be average in general.
