[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi there, my DD is currently a student at VCuArts. Before she was certain about the art however I was in your shoes, looking for universities with strong art departments as well as wide range of other options and degrees.

She applied to all of the following and here are some thoughts about each

VCU - her toughest application by far. Definitely take advantage of the portfolio reviews they offer - she did one online. They also have precollege sessions which can help with art productions and portfolio prep but COVID scuttled that for DD.

Ohio University - was the second highest ranked fine arts program she applied to but lost interest when in state schools accepted her.

Tennessee - we loved the arts facilities, also fairly high ranked for fine arts. Cost ended up being a factor. We are in VA.

West Virginia - also good arts program and nice facilities. We visited and it would’ve been a good option if others didn’t come through.

JMU - lower ranked for fine arts but good program and facilities. She attended a portfolio review there and faculty were great.

[b]Va tech[/b] - not known for fine arts but trying to grow their studio art program. New facilities and she could’ve gotten a lot of attention but preferred VCU. No portfolio required.

My understanding is the difference between BA and BFA is the amount of studio time - more for BFA. [/quote]

VT has a "Creative Technologies" program if she's interested in the more digital side of arts.[/quote]
