<p>Hi all, </p>
<p>I recently got accepted into UCLA and USC, but I'm interested as to which school is better and more well known for their art programs?</p>
<p>Thanks, any opinions would help. :)</p>
<p>UCLA Fine Arts program is now one of the top programs in the country.
New York galleries frequently mine the MFA pool of grads for new talent.
USC ---not well regaurded except for film.</p>
<p>alvinc--welcome to CC!</p>
<p>S graduated from UCLA in Design|Media Arts in 2005 and has had a successful career ever since. He speaks very highly of the caliber of the art program overall. Networking post-graduation is also very good.</p>
<p>Good luck with your decision!</p>
<p>Even as a USC grad (architecture), our art department didn't seem that strong. I used to drop in on the exhibits sometimes, and while some of it was quite good, the majority of the work was just plain wierd, and I was hard pressed to guess what the people exhibiting expected to do to support themselves when they graduated. The connections in pretty much any department of USC are excellent, however.</p>
<p>Thank you everyone for your comments.</p>
<p>Coincidentally i was accepted into the DMA program and am quite excited to see how it goes :)</p>
