<p>I called CMU last week, and the admissions officer was able to confirm that performance majors face a 4 year program, but she wasn’t certain about design majors. After I spent about 10 minutes in looping-phone-tree-hades, I gave up on them. 4 years is a dealbreaker not only because of the tuition costs, but also because Happykid wants to be out there working and making money yesterday. </p>
<p>The admissions counselor at Point Park told me that all of the credits from an AA would transfer, but that depending on how the design department evaluated the transfer credits student might have to be there for 2 1/2 or 3 years. It may still be do-able.</p>
<p>We’re visiting UMBC and either Shenandoah or Towson next week, and will report back with what we learn!</p>
