Art School Minutes

This isn't a real update. This is just "minutes" like meeting minutes, so I can keep track of where I think I'm going.

Savannah College of Art and Design
912-525-5100
  • Largest department is graphic design, top three for animation.
  • They have merit-based scholarships for arts and academics.
  • Once you are accepted, then transferring credits is figured out.
  • For a portfolio, send "whatever your best work is."
  1. Do they accept bright futures?
  2. Ask about whether you can apply for more than one major.

Ringling College of Art and Design
941-359-7526
  • Number one animation school in the country.
  • To transfer in for animation is more difficult than for any other major. Unable to transfer spring semester, would have to transfer fall. May be able to transfer to illustration for spring.
  • Very limited merit-based portfolio-based scholarships, bright futures accepted.
  • Recommended that I get a catalog.

Rhode Island School of Design
401-454-6300
  • When you apply, it is to a specific department. It's better to apply for fall, rare for transfers to get in in the spring.
  • Financial aid and scholarships are more abundant for transfers, mostly need-based but also have merit.
  • Liberal arts department decides on what credits transfer.
  • Every teacher is working in the field as well.
  • Transfers submit 12-20 pieces of best, most recent work. Illustrations recommended for illustration department?
