<p>If not a book perhaps a website.</p>

<p>BTW Taxguy,
Have seen you on core77, wetcanvas and the Pratt community live journal as well.... You remind me of me.

<p>Cama, I have seen all of them. I am a writer, which entails that I be a good researcher. Thus, when I look into a subject, I thoroughly check things out.</p>
<p>I think that applying to art schools is a much different process and information especially things like ranking at the undergrad level does not seem to exist. A book specializing in Art Schools would have been a tremendous help. Taxguy, you do a great job putting information together and I wish I had discovered this site earlier.</p>
<p>Taxguy you are getting quite a reputation among these parts... and deservedly so.</p>
<p>Cama</p>
<p><em>Taxguy blushes (and wonders if it's a good or bad reputation)</em> Ah shucks, thanks CAMA.</p>
<p>Good rep for very balanced and thorough info.
Regards,
Cama</p>
<p>It would have been helpful to have a book outlining this process. I didn't realize the diversity of art programs. I applied as a biology major way back when and bio pgms didn't vary that much from school to school. A studio art major can go to any college offering art. Art History is offered at almost all LACs. Beyond that, it gets sketchy. Since my dd is interested in graphic design and advertising, she had to look closely at the curriculum each school offered. She eliminated many schools that had studio art majors with concentrations in graphic design because they turned out to offer maybe 2-3 GD classes (as compared to a BFA in GD). I'm sure it's the same for your daughter, taxguy. There are many new media type majors and they differ from school to school. In fact, my dd turned down graphic arts at Syracuse (in Newhouse School of Communications), preferring communication design (in the School of Art & Design).</p>
<p>Jerzgrlmom, I completely agree.</p>
