I've been accepted to Pratt & SAIC graduate graphic design programs. They are very different programs, but both harbor very attractive qualities that coincide with what I am looking from a graduate school. I've already done extensive research on both schools and now I want other people's opinions and insights. Qualities I desire in a program: -training in aspects of graphic design foundation (I am a self taught designer) -theoretical, critical, and conceptual focus -interdisciplinary and multi-medium supportive curriculum -opportunity to pursue a career in the design industry and also design pedagogy -a city with a robust design community -nationally recognized and respected program -quality/ supportive faculty -some access to traditional liberal arts courses (i.e. social sciences and philosophy)
