My son is interested in Graphic Design and did not want to go to an art school (and preferred no portfolio review) so we looked at the schools below. He preferred the BS programs more than the BA programs because he felt they had more intense Graphic Design related coursework. He found that the BS programs were more like the BFA (than the BA programs) in that they went deeper into the concentration, but different (and more suited for him) in that he did not have to take a lot of foundation art classes or submit a portfolio. He thought the BA programs were too weak in the concentration.
