Art School:
+ Immersion in art theory/studio courses + Strong connections with art field/industry + Usually attracts more talent + More art course & major/minor offerings +/- Workload is heavily project-based - Limited exposure to a diverse population Traditional College w/ Art Major: + Exposure to other subjects + Exposure to a wider range of interests, skills, & view-points + Workload is divided more evenly between project-based & other course work - Possible fewer art offerings (courses & majors) - Some schools only offer Bachelors in the Arts (BA) which would limit your options if you would want to pursue a masters Big School or Small School?
