4. Do not use quotes in name searches.

5. When choosing Popular academic criteria (like drawing programs), pick a geographic location too or else you will get over too many records.

6. The top information authority is the school itself.   We pursue the most timely & accurate information, but some schools may not have submitted necessary information.   We encourage all schools to keep their information with us current.

7. Are you a prospective student and can't find the school you are looking for?   Try other art school searches on our resources page.

9. To improve comparability for our readers, some programs/concentrations have been slightly generalized in our database.   For example: many schools call a program "Ceramics" and many others call the same program "Ceramic Art".   You can find them all by selecting "Ceramic Art" from our pull down menu.

Search Examples

TO FIND:

1. Art schools with Arizona in their name: just type Arizona in the small blue area and click search or press enter. Searching with just a partial name of the school is actually the preferable way to search for a school, since our database may have the school listed differently than the way you type it.

2. Arizona State University in particular: type Arizona State University in the small blue box area and click search or just press enter. If you can't find your school this way, try entering just part of the name because we may have the name listed slightly differently.
