Hi Sean,

You should check out the Advertising Design program at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit.  It is a 4 year BFA with all of the portfolio building experience you would get in the post degree programs WHILE you get your Bachelors... Including fantastic internship and corporate sponsored project opportunities.  They also just launched a new Copywritting program so you'll have an opportunity to be teamed up with copywritters just like you would in AD school.  You can see some of the work on their web portal here:  www.insideccs.com (under 'what you'll do').  And yes, I do work here, but If I could find the time to go back to school right now, It would be for AD in a heartbeat!
