Graduate Schools
For those of you have been asking about graduate programs - For those of you that are being to research graduate school programs there is a new section of links that will contain a list of potential schools. The link will bring you to the Art Department of the listed school. This is not a complete list nor is it listed in any particular order. After the school name you might find a media, this does NOT mean that you shouldn't look around if you a looking for a sculpture program and it indicated CD after the name. It simply means that if your first affinity is to X start looking here as a suggestion. Again, this is by no means an inclusive list… there are many many more programs out there. The list will keep growing so be sure to check back.
A few things to ask yourself.. is there a particular person that you encountered in your research that has helped to mentor your work through their work.. do they teach somewhere? Go out and find them? Are you looking to focus on one media or are you interested in letting your ideas determine your media? Which department will let you do what you need to do? Look at their Speakers Series or Visting Artist list... are they likely to bring artists that interest you? How is the Art Community were? How are the graduate studios and lab facilities? Big city.. meduim sized city.. small city..?
If you have found a school that is particularly interesting to you, post a comment here and share what you have found with your classmates. If you comment about a school that you found to this posting it will be added to the school listing. Be sure to include in your post the web link to that Art Department, please and thank you.
Coming soon ... we will be meeting as a entire group (all three sections) to talk about how to begin preparing for graduate school applications (and gallery submissions too) among other things. Stay Tuned...

Does Cal Arts have a good Grad Program? And if so does anyone know if you can take undergrad courses they offer?
CalArts is a very good school. I was actually going to add it to the list. Why the reason to back track into more undergrad courses and not apply for graduate?

Oh I want to be a grad, but I want to take some of their CG courses so I can get a better grasp of the technic. I plan to fill out an application asap.
I'm also thinking SUNY Purchase (is that how you spell it)?
Each department works differently. In case cases the senior level classes (in ub's case the 400 level) are sometimes also for undergrad. Perhaps you could try to complete an independent study with the person teaching the class and as part of that you attend the class? There is usually a work all of this out.
Take a look at North Carolina State and Rensselaer. Don't look at the price tag. We'll talk about this on 10/27 as a whole group. There are potential funding opportunities at the graduate level - assistanceships etc. Don't look at the tuition when you are making your selection of schools to apply to.
