<p>I am a high school senior and is now waiting for university offers. I prefer to study art in comprehensive universities rather than in art schools as I like the interdisciplinary programs and their emphasis on ideas and knowledge. But since there are only rankings on fine arts major for graduate schools, I can not tell if some schools might have a much better art program in undergrad than in grad school.
I saw on US news Ranking that Cornell's grad fine arts program only ranks 36 but a family friend says that it has a very strong undergrad art department. Many people apply for it but I don't know if It is only because Cornell is an Ivy League school or because of its Art. I applied as I love the philosophy of the department, the quality of teaching and the Campus.but I am really afraid that it is not what I think it is( u know..every uni thinks they are the best on every subject lol.) and everytime Cornell introduces the School of Art, Architecture and Planning, it seems to ignore the Art department and mainly talks about the other two.
This really confuses and worries me and I hope someone knows about Cornell's Fine Arts department can help me on this... Many thanks!</p>
