The University of New Hampshire

Major: Art & Design Department (This Major's Salary over time)
Prior to finishing my BA at the University of New Hampshire, I attended two other art schools, and I must say that the art department at UNH is really…mediocre at best. Unfortuantely, the faculty often seem more concerned about advancing their own careers than they do with helping their students advance theirs. The result is the tragic lack of instruction that you as a student recieve. If you are really interested in growing as an artist, I can offter these tidbits of advice: Move to Manhatten and study as the Art Student's League; move to Boson and study at SMFA, attend an academy that educates students in the traditon of the French and Royal Academies, or simply find a painter who paints in the styles of the prior schools and study under him/her. If you must have a degree, The School of the Museum of Fine Arts/Tufts Program is fantastic, or you could even attend art school in the UK or elsewhere in Europe for a fraction of what you'd pay domestically. I would strongly urge a prospective student to think twice before enrolling at UNH.
