Someone was mentioning in another thread that they couldn't find any info on Cal State Long Beach with regard to current student work. Here is a website for the drawing and painting department's students. http://www.artgrads.com/artists.html CSULB is a great program to get into the LA area.

Hey Caus, have you seen CSULB's program? I have to sing the praises of it because I've been impressed with its affordability, proximity to LA, and reputation among the other LA MFA programs.

UC Irvine has a really great interdisciplinary feel to it. They push their students that way too.

Southern California Grad Programs for Drawing & Painting
Demain replied to TheStranger's topic in Visual
I'm amazed no one has mentioned Cal State Long Beach. They have the largest undergrad art program (for a state school) in the country and they have many many teaching opportunities. They also have private studios for every grad, a very decent ranking (40th, last I looked) and the cost of attendance is 2/3's of a UC even. It makes sense to go for the best school for your investment when jobs are scarce. -
I predict Tyler and Mica will move up and surpass Yale in the drawing and painting rankings very soon. I also think though that any school that is going to put you 100k in debt is a bit full of itself. Especially with 30% unemployment in the 24-30yr old age bracket. Find a good state school. If you start to think of it as quality/ranking per dollar, Yale isn't near the top anymore. Champaign-Urbana Hunter Long Beach UCLA Rutgers UT Austin

Davis has a very active 'freecycle' community and there are often many, many free ads on Craigslist.org for furniture and appliances. I know you mentioned having 'nice' things but do consider the fact that picking up some furniture once your here will be very easy. With a little sanding and some paint, most anything can be made new again. Also, I attended UCD for my undergrad; if you desire any tips about the town, drop me a line. Cheers.

Tyler is the up and coming star in my opinion. They will press Yale for its spot as the blue blood dilutes.

Tyler School of Art VS Cranbrook

Tyler, hands down. Ranking isnt everything and the location of Tyler will more than make up for it. They regularly take trips into NYC and are not shy about introducing you to people that you'll need to know after you graduate.
-
Tyler! Its an amazing school that you have to visit to appreciate; although for interdisciplinary I'd say MICA is the strongest program.

CSULB - Contemporary track painting for me. Grats to everyone!

I visited: NYU, Hunter, MICA, Tyler, UCLA, UC Irvine, UC Berkeley, CSLA, CSLB, UCD, SF State.
I then decided to really consider costs and ruled out the east coast.
I applied to UCLA, UCB, UCI, CSLB.
I do think that per the value CSLB is one of the best schools around. Not that rankings are everything but its the highest ranked per lowest cost in the country. (for CA resid...

A recurring theme with long beach is its cost vs. value. I'm also excited by the size of the program and faculty- like you mentioned, you'll probably find a member to get along with. What other schools were you considering beyond nyu?

Hey,
Thanks for your response! Yes, accepted for photo. Studios for every student is definitely a plus, especially for the price. I was accepted to sdsu as well, which seems like a very different program- small, insular, homogenous. Not really what I'm looking for but some grad students get their own undergrad courses to teach. The 'studios' there are pretty lackluster.
-
Its not the best program I looked at but it fits my needs well. Its very affordable, its in state, it has a decent reputation that is on the rise, there are many teaching opportunities, the weather is beautiful, I have similar artistic goals with several of the faculty. (and with such a huge faculty, I'm sure you'll get along with someone).
Good luck, what other school are ...

Hello there,
I saw you were accepted for Photo, is that right? If so, I cant say much about the photo lab as I only visited the contemporary track painting studios.
The studios are not the best I've seen, but they aren't the worst and every painter gets one. (Unlike places I visited like NYU that grads fight over them).
I will be accepting my CSULB invite for a...
