Frenchlaw: On the other hand, U of MN has a very good reputation for Engineering. I am not sure whether the public universities that you list have different standards for nonresidents. You might want to be careful not to apply to institutions that require nonresidents have to have, say, a 3.85GPA and 30ACT (I am making these numbers up).
SUNY Buffalo has a good BFA program, I do not know whether they have a BA degree (major/minor).

BrownEyesMom: I was with the 'U' in the mid-eighties (the notorious Keller era - goal was to be a top five research school; many profs, including me, walked into the classroom with little preparation ), quite a while ago, so my observations are dated. Minneapolis is, by far, the nicest place that I have lived. I fear visiting, as I will get choked-up, as I did the day my wife and I drove out of the city. Guthrie is one of the top on our list, but given the selection ratio, we assume rejection; to do otherwise would be impractical.
