<p>I intensely looked into colleges with art programs for my daughter. I am from the Boston area, and can tell you that I have been told by multiple sources that the Museum School is not so great for an undergraduate degree. If you are enrolled at Tufts and are taking classes at the Museum School because it is a side interest, then it is great. Same if you are taking CE classes. But for a pure art school you are better off else where.
BU has a great painting program. Very classical if that is your genre. Probably a great place to get a masters degree. Haven’t heard about the GD program because this isn’t my daughter’s area of interest.
Syracuse University has a great art program and great facilities. They have lots of NYC adjunct faculty that teach, which is a plus. It’s a long, cold winter, but if you are from New England, then you know what to expect, and then some.<br>
Good luck to you! It’s a hard decision!</p>
