<p>Hi furrydog, I’m sure you will get a lot of great advice regarding what type of college might fit your D’s needs and interests, whether it is a dedicated art college or a university with an art program. If she is serious about art then chances are she will need to submit a portfolio (definitely for a dedicated art college, might be an option if she applies to a university but all the websites will state what they require). Anyway, it is my understanding that regardless of major she will need to have strong drawing skills. To that end, I highly recommend that you find a local atelier or art league that has a “portfolio prep” class that starts in the upcoming months (or even a late summer session!). This will allow her to develop her skills rather quickly and also get the guidance she needs in searching for colleges, getting her portfolio together, etc. My D was actively interested in art from a very young age so she didn’t need a portfolio prep course, but many of her friends that decided on art later in the game were very successful after attending these “boot camp” type programs! Best of luck to you…my older kiddo went a more traditional college route so I understand that the art world can be perplexing to those of us outside of it!</p>
