<p>Brown and RISD is starting a joint degree program but I’m not sure of the specifics. The schools are side by side but I’m not sure which school is considered the primary one.</p>
<p>One suggestion … find a listing of Mini’s entitlement index … and start at the bottom of the list … pretty good odds the school is diverse economically, ethnically, and is quite inclusive … schools like this tend to be quite open to the arts. This was a serious suggestion … for one of my kids I am going to suggest doing exactly this to possibly highlight additional schools my child should check out.</p>
<p>Greetings!</p>
<p>I think this thread has covered most of the bases. One other school that I don’t recall seeing is Wheaton College (MA). </p>
<p>Regarding diversity, I think most of these schools are trying. Of course, some are being more successful than others. My D is a freshman at Drew in NJ, which reportedly enrolled 20% minority and international students in the Class of 2011 this year. This was a new record for them, reflecting the new president’s commitment to diversity.</p>
<p>Yes, Grinnell is trying too–not everyone will go to the middle of Iowa, but the International numbers are up this year, I’ve heard.</p>
