<p>I’m thinking about applying to applying to Brandeis for creative writing, but I’m also into visual arts, mainly illustration, drawing, and computer graphics. So, can any one tell me if the art department is any good?</p>
<p>The art department is decent. I know a fair amount of people majoring in it, though I don't think it's incredible. I'm minoring in Creative Writing and the department is pretty awesome. It's actually a subset of the English Literature department so you get a good grounding in literature as well as writing techniques. Creative writing workshops rock my world.</p>
