Does rudeness make your heart sing? It's a valid choice if the student is as they said leaning more towards the arts. Have a better day |

He's not leaning towards one or the other academically. He intends to study both. He is feeling as though any ABET certified program will serve him well, so he wants to find the best art program he can that's attached to a university that will allow him to complete an ABET certified program. That doesn't mean he's not committed to engineering. So, something like Ringling or SCAD doesn't work for him. |

| West Virginia and Tennessee both have engineering and solid art departments. |

| There is another similar thread on here about this. Just as a tip from first hand experience, it wasn’t worth it to send my first born to CMU for the BXA program, and looking back we would have been better off at Penn or just about anywhere else. He found that the degree had little value post-graduation and that the art concentration was not sufficient. Like the poster said above- better to get an engineering degree (Penn, MIT, etc) and just do art as a hobby. Most art is made with AI now anyway! |

Once again, someone asks for “double digit acceptance rates” on DCUM and gets suggestions in the 11% range.
For a more likely school, OP, take a look at Case Western. It has both the majors your kid is interested in, plus an incredible seven story maker space. The one caveat is that they’re often used as a safety for other schools (Brown+RISD being a great example), so they really value demonstrated interest a *lot*, as an indicator that the student is genuinely into them. I would tour them early in the process. Good luck. |
