Hoedown, I am not sure that any single accreditation is “the gold standard.” However, most of the top rated programs are NASAD accredited. If you go to US News and World Report and check out the top 10 or 20 art programs, they are almost all NASAD accredited. BU isn’t! In fact, BU isn’t even mentioned anywhere in the top 50 schools by US News and World Report.

Onsilverwings, I did like Penn State. However, one big draw back is that they seem to have a huge liberal arts requirement. They require 45 general education requirements AND seem to have a three course language requirement too! Also, as part of their Gen Ed requirements are three science courses, two math courses etc. I am not sure that my daughter wants that much Gen Eds.
