My daughter has the same interests but is leaning more to a university with strong art programs. Some of the top schools for communication design or graphic design are ( in no particular order):


RISD ( generally considered best in US)
Pratt Institute ( which has three tracks for communication design ( see my review of Pratt and RISD))
MICA ( very strong interdisciplinary program)
Syracuse University
RIT (which has both graphic design and strong new media program)
UMass Dartmouth (both graphic design and new media- courses also taught by RISD professors)
University of Cincinnati (School of Design, Art and Archtecture)
Carnegie Mellon ( communication design only)
Penn State
10 Call Arts
Ringling School of art and design
12, University of the Arts in Philadelphia
Cleveland Insitute of Art


These should get you started.

There are more too. Check out the “arts forum.”
