[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting pp thanks. Actually I’m pushing the BA vs BFA, as my daughter has yet to specify a specific career she sees herself doing (besides having a crystal store/jewelry store/little art gallery) - of course those are legit careers - but how about a business class too while you’re in school then? I’ve also suggested a teaching degree which can blend well with her art studies im guessing. 
But sounds like all the arty kids need to decide if they’re all in on art and think a lot on a BFA.

I appreciate the feedback and school suggestions.

Does anyone know if any of the UNC schools besides CH have art programs?[/quote]

I'm with you, OP. I have an MFA in Theatre and encouraged my kid to choose BA over BFA. She is at an open curriculum school snd may actually not get any degree but still pursue theatre (I know a little different than art). She is pursuing her craft, very happy with her liberal arts base and can get an MFA later if she wants to specialize. But, I know several people with BA in Fine Art who are doing well with this type of foundation,  my sister included. As a PP mentioned, look for schools that have good outcomes for grads and opportunities for undergrads. At bigger schools, BAs (if even offered) may not have the same opportunities as BFAs. You might have better luck with LACs. What about Vassar or Wesleyan? Not cheap I know,  but they have good need aid if you are around 150k or under. Bard, Fordham or Skidmore may do merit and should have some nyc connections.  If in MD, have you checked smcm? I don't know the quality of their program,  but they are a state school with a LAC feel. Some schools will have interesting facets (like Salisbury U for glassblowing). Good luck![/quote]
