My d will be starting at RIT, majoring in graphic design (with a minor or concentration in photography or advertising photography). Taxguy, my d also thought CMU was too restrictive. She’s sometimes double guesses her decision to turn down Syracuse because she likes Advertising Design better than Graphic Design (RIT doesn’t offer AD as a major). At RIT, she’ll still be able to take quite a few Advertising Design courses, though because with RIT’s quarter system, students take an enormous number of classes (5-6 classes a qtr, 3 qtrs a yr).

We know someone who graduated last yr from Penn State (graphic design). She liked the program and found a job within a reasonable amount of time. Penn State was too big for my d, but her best friend is going there.
