Hay im looking for an arts college that offers photography as a major and studio arts.? |
Im looking for a college close to PA or NY. any suggestions? I am a philly native. Aiph ( The Art institute of Philadelphia) has it. It's an okay college but if you are looking to seek a higher degree some colleges don't accept their credits. CCP ( Community College of Philadelphia) They have a very competitive program and the price is steadily rising. They offer all of the information and studies at the cheapest price around and their credits are accepted everywhere. They have the best computer technology in the tri state area. Their programs are updated each semester. Go figure. I had to find this out by attending the college. If I would have known of the price and quality education provided by this institution I would have gone there first. Temple has an okay program but they play around with your money and you must stay on top of them to make sure that all of your grants and scholarships are credited to your account. CCP's Financial aid office sucks. They make you wait in some of the longest lines and then it you don't know what you need the staff may play on your ignorance, but you can bypass that by seeking assistance from other students. Philadelphia University has a pretty good program except they don't have photography directly as a major. They have their photography courses intertwined within their many other arts and design majors. Most of the majors involve graphic design or digital design which is something which you will have to advance to in this day and age anyway. Drexel has a pretty good program as well. A special note if you go to CCP and receive your associates degree upon entering you can enlist in their guaranteed enrollment programs which they have with many of the schools in the area such as Temple and Drexel. What happens is if you complete the requirements at CCP you receive a grant and/ or scholarship automatically for entrance into Temple or Drexel you must choose one. The monies range from $1000-6000 or more depending upon your final gpa. And hey if you decide that an associate's degree is enough for you to go into the industry you have that option and if you later on decide that you want to pursue a higher degree you can. One last thing to add is you named two different states. Both have good arts programs. Both of these states have various stipulations with out of state students and charge an extra fee if you are not a resident. And the cost of living in New York is higher than Philadelphia. Keep that in mind when choosing. If that is not an issue good luck. Source(s): An individual who has spent too many years of her life in higher education. I have many degrees from many institutions. I have told you about the colleges which I have personally attended. If you think at any time that you may decide to get a graduate degree do not go to Aiph. That is a personal blunder of my own. They next institution makes you retake all of those classes which becomes quite redundant. I went to the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, and I believe you can do that there. It has been a few years since I was there, but I still think they do it. I studied many different classes. I hope this helps. Atteneded college there RIT in rochester, ny has the best! photo department in the northeast as well as studio arts. for more studio arts...university of the arts in philly, nyc..pratt, cooper union, or mica in maryland |
