Penn State
SAIC
Brooks Institute
Mass Art
MICA
SVA
FIDM
UC Davis
FIT
Pratt
Yale (is there an undergraduate graphic design program? I know that there's a graduate one)</p>
<p>What part of the country do you live in?</p>

<p>RISD, which is in your backyard, consistently ranks as the #1 design school in the US. However, it’s very expensive and selective. Is cost a factor? If you would incur massive debt to attend, I don’t recommend it. The field of graphic design is not known for it’s stellar salaries. The northeast has many great schools for graphic design (most that you listed), so moving across the country is unnecessary unless you get a substantial scholarship somewhere. If you are a MA resident, Mass Art is a great value. </p>
