<p>what are the best schools for the least amount of money. Would it be more expensive to go to a public school or private art school? I was thinking: Pratt, Syracue, Cornell, or maybe NYU for art history then March at MIT. Are there any recognized programs that are more affordable?</p>
<p>i would like to go to a school thats more theory intensive than math intensive.</p>
<p>i think cooper union is no cost if you are accepted.</p>
<p>chubbs, If you do a search you will see quite a bit of information from the last few years on various schools, many of which are state schools (and therefore possibly a bit less expensive than some of the privates). rick12 is a great contributor to this forum and has cited several state schools that his company holds in high regard judging from the quality of their grads. Here are a few of the ones he mentioned as well as some that our s checked into a few years back: (I think all of these offer the BARCH degree)</p>

NC State
UMD
Kansas State
Kansas
UT Austin
Texas Tech
Iowa State</p>
<p>Hope this helps! Good luck to you!</p>
<p>Cooper Union is tuition free, meaning that you still have to pay for books and dorming and other costs, which amount to about 20 thousand bucks.</p>
