This might be ridiculous but if you don’t ask…
Smith would be perfect for my D but like most LAC it doesn’t have an art and design program. U-Mass does. Can she go to Smith but major at U-Mass? Getting back and forth would be a pain but no worse than commuting.
I meant an actual major in Graphic Design.
There are a few subjects that have a Five College major (e.g. Film Studies Major), but I don’t believe Graphic Design is one of them. You can see what is available by clicking here: http://catalog.smith.edu/index.php?mode=sec and then selecting “course of study” from the drop down menu.
Smith also allows you to create your own major. However, it would be important to investigate to make sure that there is a good variety of appropriate courses available. It would probably be best to contact the Art Department directly.
