<p>Hello- my daughter is a junior this year in high school and we are beginning our college search. She does very well academically and has strengths in math, science and visual and performing arts. She would like to apply to schools with both a strong academic reputation and great visual/performing arts programs. We would appreciate some perspective on Vassar's art departments and programs. Thank you.</p>
<p>I can’t comment on the art department but I can say that due to the lack of distribution requirements (there are only a few), Vassar is a great place for people with math/science and arts/music interests. You are really able to do both there and the quality of the performing arts is very high.</p>
