<p>Can anyone tell me about the quality of the art program at brown? RISD is right there, so I’d assume visual arts at brown would be top notch being able to take classes there…but any more detail would be awesome. thanks.</p>
<p>I know that you can take classes at RISD, which I plan to do if I get accepted to Brown. I assume that you get credit for classes taken there.</p>
<p>in addition to being able to cross-register, brown and risd are launching a joint degree program next year

<p>brown has a strong visual arts department in its own right

<p>through risd, you will also have access to the foremost art library and one of the best art museums in the country

<p>man I sooo want to go to Brown so I can take advantage of all their artsy programs and RISD and the like..</p>
<p>I'm taking a class at RISD right now and I really like it. I like the art program at Brown too, but I'm new to Brown (i'm a transfer student this year), so I really don't know how "prestigious" the Brown program is.</p>
