Art at LACs?

My son majored in art studio and art history at Williams and was pleased with the programs. Williams is also very strong in Division III sports. It’s very selective, but they like the artist/athlete profile. If he can compete on a varsity level, he should contact the coaches early on.

Other LACs that I would recommend for studio art are: Wesleyan, Skidmore, Conn College, Kenyon, Vassar. These vary in selectivity, but at some males get an extra admissions boost.

Art departments at LACs (and many universities) lean more toward fine art – painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, print making – with less focus on design and new media.

Your son knows about submitting an art supplement with his application, right?
