<p>From a pure reputation perspective, all of the above noted schools are good except for Parsons. I haven’t had anyone rave about Parsons.</p>
<p>Personally, in today’s economy, I would either pick Art Center, which has reputably the best ID program in the country or Cincinnati because of their integrated coop program. However, I don’t think you can go wrong with either Pratt or Syracuse or CMU.</p>
<p>As taxguy said above, Art Center would be a good choice. I’m not sure how transferring would go though, since they have no foundation year and start right into their major freshmen year… unless you’re planning on starting from freshmen year anyways…</p>
<p>RISD and Syracuse have a 5 year industrial design program I believe.</p>
