<p>seems gone away for now but this adult student poster from LA was insisting going to Ohio public school to do art. Maybe you two will meet. Ohio U, good grad school,too, he said.
Ohio state was given good review in that artschool book and there is Ucin - taxguy to consider. I looked at schools in Idaho last night and was pretty impressed.
Giant public schools in pretty much every states, so much too know. It must be totally overwhelming for HS kid with no prior experience and without help from those research fanatic helicopter parents.
off topic here but kids, if I could do it, so can you.
Look first for the Academics link, go for " major finder A to Z" or " areas of study" " programs offered" Art could be under “V” for visual art, " S" for studio art. “C” for communication, Sometimes school could be grouped with music and drama, sometimes with architecture. Some Unis have art major in both "school of art "and “college of art and science”. either/ and /or BFA, BS, BA.
See faculties link, do head-count and check what do they do and how legit they are. visiting, adjunct, or full fledged. open the link or google the person to see their works.
See accreditation and affiliation, how long ago that happened.
See students’ works gallery
See course listings, compare few years back if they are there as well.
See virtual tour, look at student life links’ photos. judge how much of true action or staged for photo op those are.
After you are done handful schools, you can sort of tell which one seems more serious about their business but do go visit if you can, ask around, for anything made to sell schools could be misleading.
Good luck.</p>
