<p>^^ I was just about to mention MICA’s program. I believe it’s 5 years, so you save some time by doing that. They have an excellent illustration department too. My D is a junior at MICA now and I’m always impressed by what the illustration puts out when we visit. She started out as a painting major and wanted to do the BFA/BA program with Hopkins but changed her mind after her freshman year. </p>
<p>Your son may change his mind too so if he’s set on art, it might be better to go to a full fledged art school where he has more options for what he will focus on. My D right now has a major, 3 minors, and a concentration. Hah, she knows she will have to drop something, maybe two things!</p>
