Jeff,
Simplistically, something like this does it:
set folderNames to {"bob", "joe", "doc", "foo"}
repeat with aName in folderNames
tell application "Finder"
make new folder with properties {name:aName}
end tell
end repeat
This will create four folders on the desktop (there's no error-checking to
see if folders with these names already exist there). It's an easy tweak to
have them created somewhere else.
Hope that helps,
Bill
