<p>I am trying to decide between SVA and Pratt.
my major is Advertising Art direction.
Does anyone know which of the two has a better advertising art program?</p>
<p>will highly appreciate any reply.</p>
<p>i would like to know the answer for this as well (want to study that same major… advertising in the case of sva)
thanks!</p>
<p>I`m actually interested in advertising too and got accepted into both!
[School of Visual Arts > Undergraduate > Advertising > Sample Programs](http://www.schoolofvisualarts.edu/ug/index.jsp?sid0=1&sid1=11&page_id=16)
i saw that though and they say they`re the premier...if we could get feedback from people who go to this school, it would help!</p>
<p>I got accepted to both too…for Graphic Design (might possibly switch into Illustration, so it would be nice to hear for both majors!)</p>
<p>A friend of mine just graduated from the SVA advertising course. It’s a surprise considering he’s not an artist by any means, he said that the program tends to have a fair few none artists in it. Does this mean it’s bad, no. It did, however, convince me to apply for a different major though.</p>
<p>Another friend of mine just graduated from the SVA Graphics course, you’re on the computer a lot. There isn’t much done by hand anymore :c but he would highly recommend it. Anyone who goes to SVA has a great experience.</p>
<p>If you’re considering their Illustration department, keep in mind that it is situated next to their cartooning department. That has a HUGE influence on the work produced.</p>
<p>I don’t have any information on Pratt but I would suggest looking at the senior work produced for the schools and the fields you’re interested in. I find that it gives a great amount of insight to what work you can be accomplishing in four years time. You should be wowed and motivated to move your own work in that direction.<br>
If you’re not impressed or inspired or feeling a connection, move on.</p>
