<p>Some of these schools barely have a studio art program, and a major? I’m pretty sure Bowdoin doesn’t even have a studio art program, and Middlebury has no major. Swarthmore I think is tiny, and basically runs on 5-6 part-time visiting artists teaching a course or two. Amherst’s is weak. Bates has a combined studio arts and arts culture major - you can’t do studio arts alone. Of the liberal arts college listed, I am sure Smith is the strongest. I have no idea about Tufts and Boston College.</p>
