Not exactly sure about major/schools to look at

College Majors Visual Arts and Film Majors

<p>I am very interested in design and communication, so thus communication design. I would say I excel in photography/computer-y stuff, but I don't necessarily want to get into really fine-art stuff like painting and drawing (although drawing seems to be inevitable...) or a dreaded "foundation" year. Am I asking too much?</p>

<p>Design/Visual Communications?</p>

<p>And what schools would I look into? I'm thinking maybe Carnegie Mellon, Syracuse,....</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>NYU’s Gallatin school offers individualized study, so you could formulate your own communication/design major. I know a person who applied to Gallatin ED for communication/advertising design.</p>

<p>Okay, thanks. Are individualized studies viewed with the same legitimacy as general majors? Idk I’m having a lot of trouble finding schools with the major that matches…Carnegie Mellon seems to have a good program, except it is very selective!</p>

<p>If you’re also interested in the business part of communication (advertising, branding, etc), check out MCAD’s B.S. program. I see only one of the foundation classes as a requirement. (My D has to take 3 in the illustration program). <a href=“http://www.mcad.edu/visualization[/url]”>http://www.mcad.edu/visualization&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
