<p>Advmom notes,"It’s a shame that SAIC doesn’t pair up with one of the universities in Chicago to offer liberal arts courses, because these courses do appear to be an afterthought just to meet BFA requirements. On the bright side, you won’t have to buy books because they typically don’t use them.</p>
<p>Response: yes, this is sadly typical of most stand alone art schools,which is why I like schools like MICA and RISD. They do emphasize quality and rigor in their liberal arts.</p>
