Not to be a Cassandra, but unless you are wealthy and able to substantially support your kid after their art degree is over, this is mostly likely not a route your kid wants to go down. [/quote]

I have an art degree and make over 200K a year. No one wealthy was supporting me. I started off as a graphic designer and now lead a design team.[/quote]

DP here with a kid interested in graphic design. It seems like of 10 universities with something that could get to a graphic design career each one is different I.e. direct entry BFA in graphic design with portfolio required, BA in art no portfolio required to start but have option to apply to BFA/graphic design spring sophomore year, BA/BS in a new media blend of art, communication, and design, BFA in visual communication.

In your experience as a designer and now leading designers, what are the important things to look for in a program to prepare a student for the field without needing a masters degree? Is it certain classes, a combination of classes , major, in class practical experience, college opportunities for internships , having interdisciplinary opportunities(I.e. business and visual arts) at the college?
