Major: Fine Arts - Painting/Sculpture/Photography/etc (This Major's Salary over time)
Over all, my experience at the UArts was great. I thought the foundation year, although very hard at times was very important and needed in the development of an art student. My major was Painting/Drawing with a minor in Art Ed. The only criticism of the Painting department was the lack of structure. I learned in the past, the UArts painting dept had a manditory chemicals of paint class and figure drawing/anatomy class. They did away with those classes the year or two before I got there. It would have been nice to have that structure. They went less traditional and concentrate on free-form expression. I think that's fine if you have more of a foundation and decipline to draw from first.
