<p>Furrydog, the fact that your D has a passion for drawing should be top among the factors that needs to be weighed in before she can settle on a program, or college. Art, unlike most other disciplines, is a creative field. And so to speak, nothing so counts more than does interest. I think that since she’s in senior High right now, you should find several industry recognized art programs and let her look at them so that she can make up her mind what would be best for her. Looking at fine art colleges, I would apply to some practical based, industry-recognized school such as the [Santa</a> Fe University of Art and Design | New Mexico Art College](<a href=“http://www.santafeuniversity.edu/]Santa”>http://www.santafeuniversity.edu/) in New Mexico.</p>
