Liberal arts schools with design/media studies majors?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I'm a rising senior and at this point I'm pretty sure I want to major in either design/media studies or psychology. I don't want to attend art school and limit my options; what I'd really like is a LAC with a strong art program and a design major or at the very least a selection of design classes with a media studies or communications major.</p>

<p>Here is what I'd really like in a college:</p>

<p>Small (<8000 students)
High teacher-student ratio; small classes
In an urban setting, preferably in or just outside of a large city (Boston would be great, or anywhere in Massachusetts really)
A strong art/design program
Fairly liberal
Preferably on either the East or West coast, but at this point I'm not too picky about location</p>

<p>Right now I'm looking at Tufts, Syracuse, Hampshire, Bennington, Northeastern, Suffolk (is this a good school?), Eugene Lang/Parsons dual degree program, Skidmore, Union, U of the Pacific, and Western Washington. Is there anywhere else I should check out? Thanks in advance for your help! (:</p>

<p>Not sure but maybe Goucher (close to Baltimore), Drew (NJ), Bard (NY) and Sarah Lawrence (close to NYC). Best of luck!</p>

<p>Hampshire & Bennington are not really close to any urban areas. From Bennington, you could probably go to Albany, NY!</p>
