<p>At a non-Art university it is good to note if it has an art department or School of Art. A school of art is usually better resourced, more robust and offers a BFA, not just a BA.</p>
<p>At the Art colleges, they have mostly adjunct vs full-time professors. That would be considered a weakness at a traditional college but at an art school, it can be a strength because the schools usually require all professors to be working artists. My S, for instance, wants to make a living as an illustrator/animator. We agreed it is best to learn from folks that are currently working in those fields vs guys who teach from a theoretical vantage point.</p>
