[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, my dd loves drawing, painting, ceramics, photography. She also loves museums and galleries. I want her to find a school where she can foster her love for these areas and be around other arty kids and adults, while also getting a broad based liberal arts degree. [b]And not break the bank[/b] (I’m looking at you art schools in NYC).
She seems to like a bigger school, but I’ll have her check out anything that might fit the bill.

Thanks for the replies[/quote]

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]

Our kid with an art degree (BFA in Design and Production from UNC School of the Arts) had multiple job offers before graduation and chose a position with health care, retirement, vacation time, and other employee benefits. Good training plus strong networking provides lots of opportunities.[/quote]

But most artists do not receive such offers snd have to be prepared to take secretarial and service jobs, which is why the BA is more useful[/quote]

But the BA will almost never receive those offers if they are studying at a school that offers a BFA too.  They are basically only 2/3 trained and committed vs. their peers.  [/quote]
