<p>Indiana University has a good graphic design program. It is a BFA that takes five years though. I think Michigan State has graphic design too. University of Minnesota has a really neat cross-disciplinary design department. Just reorganized it this year to create a whole new College of Design. My D has done a lot of research on graphic design programs. There is def a difference between majoring in graphic design at a big ten school vs. a school like Savannah College of Art and Design or RISD. The big ten schools have a more general program. don’t have as many classes to choose from, less actual job training and portfolio preparation - its a trade-off.
In the big 12 Texas Tech has a pretty well-developed graphic design program. The good ones have competitive admission sophomore year by portfolio review. .</p>
