<p>Is the undergrad visual art program good at yale?</p>
<p>Yes.......</p>
<p>One of the best, if not THE best in the country.</p>
<p>thanks! i wasnt sure if they were as strong in art as they are in all of their other programs</p>
<p>If you want to actually major in art, note that you apply to Yale College, then second semester of sophomore year, you apply for admission into the Art major:</p>
<p>Art</a> | Programs of Study | Academic Information | Yale College | Class of 2012</p>
<p>Art</p>
<p>The program in Art offers courses in a variety of media and provides a background in visual arts as part of a liberal education and as preparation for graduate study and professional work.</p>
<p>Introductory courses address basic problems of visual formulation.Students who want to take an art course should attend the first course meeting. Demand is usually great for basic courses, and students should consider more than one section. In the fall and spring, the DUS will meet with students who need advice about course selection.</p>
<p>Students are admitted to the major in the spring term of their sophomore year after a sophomore review. Prospective majors present a portfolio of work from Yale studio art courses to a group of faculty and receive advice based on their course work and on the strengths and deficiencies of their portfolios.</p>
<p>Five introductory-level courses are required as prerequisites to the major, including ART 111a or b, Visual Thinking, and 114a or b, Basic Drawing. To be eligible for the sophomore review, students must have completed three of the prerequisite courses and should be enrolled in the remaining two.</p>
<p>Areas of study include painting/printmaking (including drawing), sculpture, graphic design, photography, and filmmaking. Acceleration credits are not available in art.</p>
<p>Junior Art majors concentrating in painting are eligible for a summer program in Norfolk, Connecticut. The Norfolk program awards up to four course credits.</p>

<p>km, Yale's undergraduate studio art is very good. For good art departments + strong academics (in a range of selectivity) I would also recommend Brown, Williams, Wesleyan, Kenyon, Hamilton, Skidmore.</p>
<p>thank you for the very useful info!</p>
