<p>I'm planning on transferring this fall, and I want to stay in the midwest. I want to major in art, maybe become an art teacher. I don't want to attend an art school, so any suggestions of a university or private school that has a strong art program? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>If you want a strong academic program along with the studio art experience, the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at WUSTL might be watch you are looking for:</p>
<p>[Undergraduate</a> Art | Sam Fox School](<a href=“http://www.samfoxschool.wustl.edu/artarch/undergradart]Undergraduate”>http://www.samfoxschool.wustl.edu/artarch/undergradart)</p>
<p>There are some very strong art programs at broad universities in the midwest. I’d suggest you have a look at: U Iowa, Indiana U Bloomington, Wisconsin Madison, U Illinois Urbana, U Texas Austin, Ohio State, U Michigan Ann Arbor, Southern Illinois U Carbondale, and U North Texas.</p>
<p>Consider the very selective [School</a> of Fine Arts at Miami University](<a href=“College of Creative Arts | Miami University”>http://arts.muohio.edu/).</p>
<p>If you want a smaller school, liberal arts experience with a good art department, you may wish to check out Lawrence University in Appleton, WI.</p>
<p>Minneapolis College of Art and Design has a decent BFA program.</p>
<p>^ I’d recommend Lawrence in Appleton, WI also. But keep in mind, their emphasis is more on Art History than the traditional sense of ‘art’ itself.</p>
<p>You might also consider Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. A strong studio art department, particularly in ceramics and computer design.</p>
<p>what about the University of Cincinnati? we have some incredibly top-ranked design and art programs.</p>
