My senior DD is applying to a combo of LAC and universities with schools of art. She wants a school with a serious art program AND strong academics. I know that Yale is considered one of the best art programs for graduate school. I’m curious what people’s thoughts are on if or how that translates to the undergraduate program though. (This would be one of her reaches, obviously. She has a strong list of safeties and targets already–and has found several schools with art programs she really likes. But most of the art programs she likes the most are at schools that do not impress her as much academically. We, of course, know the reputation of the academics at Yale–but she’s wondering if there are students/a department there who place the same emphasis on visual arts.)

Thanks.
