Answer
Please forgive me for not answering your question properly... I just picked my husband up from ICU/Open Heart Surgery. My plate is FULL.

I suggest you talk to a counselor in admissions at any college you choose that has art education. Someone can help you.

Also, a person named Judy Decker could be of assistance. Her email is:
jdecker4art@yahoo.com  or   JDecker@woh.rr.com
She is the head of an art education email group of which I am a member. She is very knowledgable and could steer your in the proper direction.

Sorry for the brief answer.
