Any suggestions for colleges with strong visual arts programs, particularly those in the Southeast?
Well https://www.scad.edu/ is the obvious off-the-cuff answer.
But is a high-end art school with a portfolio-based admission process what you’re looking for?
Or are you looking for a liberal arts school with good visual arts? (Like Flagler, for one)
Or a larger school with design programs? (NC State for example)
You options will depend on your state of residence, financial constraints, stats, and the strength of your art portfolio if you’re applying directly to schools that require that.
