Cal Poly or CSULB for visual arts???

Hi! I’m deciding between Cal Poly Pomona or CSULB for visual arts. I’m interested in drawing. painting, and graphic design. Could anyone help me out? Do you suggest a different college? Which has the best art program, art teachers and art community?? Thank you!

Are you applying for this Fall 2017?

Long Beach hands down! It’s ranked pretty well (#69) for fine arts. I personally know somebody who is studying fine arts over there and they love it! I’m sure Cal Poly also has a good art program, but it isn’t the strongest.

Not sure about your stats, but here are some other great art schools with the best faculty:

  • UCLA
  • UC Davis
  • Arizona State U
  • Yale
  • CalArts
  • UCSD
  • Stanford

Generally, you should apply a couple of schools but, I can’t recommend any without knowing more about you . What are your qualifications and budget?
