By the way Tax guy…what universities w/ strong art depts. is your daughter looking at?

What kind of art is she interested in?

My D likes photography especially digital, web design/graphic design, all sorts of studio art.

She is also strong in humanities and writing but not sure what she wants to do w/ this strength except as of now continue to develop and learn.

Do you think a university is best? I did, but now I am considering that a BFA or a BGD(Graphic Design degree) would be a lucrative degree if she wanted to begin a career right away w/ an undergraduate degree. She could always return to grad school as long as she had a strong undergraduate transcript.

Or do you feel grad schools would prefer a solid BA in a major in the humanities and a minor in art?

I know it would depend on what she was applying to grad school for…let’s say law school or perhaps to continue in one of the humanities majors for a MA or even a Phd? I guess what I am asking is whether you think a degree from a good art school would be acceptable to a grad scholol should she want to continue her education? Or would a BA from a good university or LAC be preferential?

I would have said the university/Lac…but I am not really sure of that.
