@dckehoe, For small LACs with strong studio art and art history departments plus excellent overall academics I would suggest Williams, Wesleyan, Hamilton, Vassar, Skidmore, Conn College, Kenyon, Haverford, Smith. In addition to its joint program with RISD, Brown also has an excellent studio art department of its own.

Most BA programs do not require portfolio for admissions (the joint Brown/RISD and Tufts/SMFA programs do require portfolios), however, if art is a significant EC, then it would be a good idea to submit an arts supplement with her application.

I would note that art departments at “full service” colleges tend to focus more on traditional media – painting, drawing, sculpture, print making, photography – and less on design and digital media.
