Art+Environmental Science Schools?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hello! I currently am a freshman Earth and Environmental student at UIC.
I have a full ride-which is why i chose this school. Both the environmental program along with the art program is not very strong.
I realized as much as I would only love to concentrate on art, i want to get both a ES degree and some type of studio art degree.</p>

<p>I am looking to transfer to U Washington, U Wisconsin, UVM</p>

<p>I would love to stay near a city (NYU for example would be a dream school if they had ES).
And if i was going to a only to an art school I would go to SVA.
I would also love a smaller school (even those i listed are very large) but its not neccessary and a liberal leaning school is very important</p>

<p>Do you know of schools that have good environmental programs as well as art programs?
Once you go to a school with almost completely barren of art, you realize how much you miss art and people interested in art. Sigh..
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! :)</p>

<p>Also for stats i dont know my current GPA but in high school i had a 3.6/4 unweighted and a 4.1 weighted. I also had a 28 ACT.</p>

<p>Also, do you think i should mke the most of my full ride and get some classes out of the way? That's probably a smarter way to go about things I guess i just want change to come ASAP. What do you think?</p>

<p>Well, thank you sooo much!!</p>

<p>But NYU does have an Environmental Studies major, which offers a good selection of courses on both the science and policy sides of this field. [NYU</a> > Environmental Studies Program > Undergraduate Program](<a href=“Department of Environmental Studies”>Department of Environmental Studies)</p>

<p>You also should look at Indiana U—good art programs as well as good environmental science programs:
[IU</a> Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science Program](<a href=“Indiana University Bloomington”>Indiana University Bloomington)
[Henry</a> Radford Hope School of Fine Arts Home](<a href=“http://www.indiana.edu/~finaweb/test/cms/fina/home/]Henry”>http://www.indiana.edu/~finaweb/test/cms/fina/home/)</p>

<p>Thanks so much zapfino!
I did see NYU’s Studies program, but im looking for an environmental science program.
Do you know if NYU can somehow create an environ. science major through some type of interdisciplinary degree?</p>

<p>Thanks so much, I’ll check out Indiana!</p>

<p>If you could get in, I think WUStL would be just about perfect for you. U Miami, Syracuse, RIT, Boston U, Tufts, USC, and maybe UNC are a few other universities that could be matches.</p>

<p>It’s more difficult to think of good options among LACs. Rhodes, Trinity, the Quaker consortium, Agnes Scott, Lewis & Clark, Reed, Macalester, Occidental, Colorado College, etc. are urban but not particularly known for art, I think. Many/most of the LACs known for art are rural or in small towns - Skidmore, Bard, Wesleyan, Conn College, Williams, etc. Barnard would probably work if you’re female.</p>

<p>Be aware that public universities like Wisconsin and UDub can be pretty expensive and rarely provide much (if any) financial aid to out-of-state students. Can you afford them? If so, Cincinnati should probably make the list.</p>

<p>alright, thank you so much!
zapfino- i checked out UI and as great as the programs sounded, I was kind of dismayed by its location.</p>

<p>warblersrule- I checked out WUStL it seems great-however they don’t offer any sort of Art, Art Studio, or photography major.
Although thank you for this list! I will look up more of these LACs</p>

<p>I know its very difficult to do both I’ve been realizing.
Since I have this scholarship (+room and board) I want to make the most of it. But at the same time, the programs here aren’t exactly geared to what I want.</p>

<p>UWashington’s environmental program as wel as Wisconsin’s & Vermont’s is amazing</p>

<p>UBostons location is great as well, but its environ program is not as in depth as i wish it was.
I also remember looking at Reed when I first was applying, but again it offers Environ. Studies not Science physically at the school.</p>

<p>UWashington’s environmental program as wel as Wisconsin’s & Vermont’s are amazing
I know! that why I’ve been looking at more schools, and trying to find help to find better ones or less in your face expensive as most schools out of state are.
But I figured, I’m getting my reqs-like math & chem - out of the way the first year at UIC so I’m making the most of the scholarship while preparing myself to transfer.
And should I stay the second year, I would get my 101 courses for painting, drawing etc out of the way.</p>

<p>Also, keep in mind I have AP credit and my portfolio isn’t too shabby.
Here’s my portfolio: <a href=“http://ninnananna.carbonmade.com/[/url]”>http://ninnananna.carbonmade.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>So even if I was paying the full out of state price of lets say 40, 000 then it will not be like $160,000
and it’ll be half. But I mean I’m willing to take out loans. And I’m involved in clubs here (and was before in high school) and hopefully can earn some for my out of state status and involvement and their environmental or art programs. </p>

<p>Thank you so much for talking this out with me, I’ve been trying to with advisors here but they’re constantly busy because they have thousands of students to attend to. I appreciate all of your answers!!!</p>

<p>Also, I found Fordham University, and their ES program seems good, a little more math and physics based but its environmental policy requirements seem pretty cool!</p>

<p>I also may be interning this summer while attending summer school. I have an internship this year too with the American Library Association.</p>

<p>Also I am Latina, if that helps at all.</p>

<p>have you looked at bard… it’s not far from NYC and has a great art/enviro program</p>

<p>

You must not have looked very hard. :rolleyes: WUStL has an entire school of art, and a very good one at that.</p>

<p>[Washington</a> University | Sam Fox School of Art | Photography](<a href=“http://art.wustl.edu/node/4153]Washington”>http://art.wustl.edu/node/4153)</p>

<p>OP, if you look more closely at the NYU ES major, you will see that it offers 2 tracks, one of which is Environmental Science. The list of course offerings also indicate many courses that are more science-oriented, than policy-oriented.</p>

<p>Regarding Indiana U’s location, it’s about 4 hous from Chicago, about 2 hours from Louisville, and an hour from Indianapolis. Bloomington is one of the very best college towns in the country. IU also makes it fairly easy to double major and to take coursework across its various schools.</p>

<p>warblersrule-
yea, youre right, I guess I must’ve missed that! my fault for rushing these searches.
Hm…well now I have to do a more in depth look ah this is exciting!!
zapfino- I did see that, but when majors offer a “science” track, it usually means just taking more science courses-rather than the environmental parts being mixed in with the science parts, ones relating to your field.</p>

<p>Also I checked it out, they do offer science integrated environ courses, just the price tag…i don’t know if i’d realistically be able to pay that anyways…</p>

<p>I know the benefits of IU, I just have this weird thing about indiana for personal reasons…I guess i just feel comfortable (as does my mother) being located near a city. I know, its weird but it happens!</p>

<p>And thanks sooo much, again for the help. Right now I will seriously consider WUStL and do more research.
My top choice still is probably U of Wash. </p>

<p>heres a tuition list.
-Seattle, Washington- $36,000
-Madison, Wisconsin- $36,000
-u of Vermont-50,000</p>

<p>these ones im going to look up some more, also interested…
-WUStL
-Bard College
-Notheastern University, Boston
-University of British Columbia
-Fordham University</p>

<p>So far these are the schools I’ve narrowed it down to for many reasons but mainly because the transfer rate acceptance is too low. If you see I made a mistake (for some i couldnt find transfer acceptance rates) please point it out!</p>

<p>These are my top schools
-University of Washington
-the New School
-University of Wisconsin
-U of Vermont
-Notheastern University, Boston </p>

<p>for the state schools I will see how much they’ll give me and eliminate based on that. I know UVM only offered $10,000 a year right after I had accepted to UIC but even that wasn’t enough help. Do you think this is a good plan? Thanks again guys!!!</p>
