Photography major

If you could go anywhere to be a photography major … where would you go and why?

These are a few years old and apply to grad school only but worth checking out:

What about undergrad?

Well, the new rankings are out:

Grad rankings aren’t the most accurate source; nevertheless, there is going to be some correlation with undergrad quality, especially for dedicated schools with strong fine arts programs such as SAIC, RISD and MICA. A lot has to do with whether the applicant prefers a stand-alone art/design school or something that’s part of a university. Columbia College -Chicago worth checking out because they have really good merit aid. My sister-in-law hires a very talented photographer for all their family portraits who attended there and she does excellent work.

Lots of interesting choices. Good luck!

certainly at the top are VCUARTS , UCLA and Yale.
