Question
How do I found a good college or University for advertising design?
Lynne,
What is "good" for one student, might not be good for another (an area I've touched on in other posts).
The basics to ask any school include:
Results - ask the school what percentage of graduates are working in the field.
Faculty - ask the school how many full-time faculty they have, as opposed to part-timers that have you lower on their priority list.
Press - who is getting talked about? who is getting quoted?
Here's a link to an overview of the eight most talked-about ad schools in the US:
