Private art schools in the states?

I am considering going to a private art college in the states and had a few questions.





Do they have international tuition fees?


Do they require a second language at a grade 12 level?


Do they require calculus?


Do they require SATs or any other tests?





I am Canadian, so I am pretty clueless about these things and am going on what I know about American universities, which isn't much anyways.





Seeing as they are really expensive, would it be smarter to do two years at a public art school here, then finish in the states?





Lastly, I was looking at the Art Center and Otis, but I know there are a lot of other good schools, so if anyone has a list of some others, that would be great. I don't want to leave the west coast...

Private art schools in the states?
Most private art schools charge the same tuition for every student (whether resident, non-resident, or international). Because you're coming from Canada, you might not need to take the TOEFL because Canada is a English speaking nation (however, contact the schools just in case). They don't require calculus, however, most do require SAT/ACT scores.





You could approach going first to a public school there, might even want to consider a community college if it's offered there. That could definitely save you money. Some others you can consider on the west coast:





Cal Arts


Laguna College of Art and Design


San Fransico Art Institute


Academy of Art University


California College of the Arts





These are all in California, however, there are other colleges in Oregon and Washington. You should also look into the public colleges and universities on the west coast that offer an art program. Some public schools have really good art departments; might even save you money or would cost just as much as an art school transferring to a public school. Some schools to consider in California:





UCLA


California State University, Long Beach








Hope this information helps. Good luck to you.

Reply:Okay. i do believe they do require english testing have you heard of TOEFL? It is required in most schools. Each school has a different score which you would need to pass. Mostly all of them do not require calculus and I do believe they all require a SAT or ACT. Art school is great but it is VERY expensive. Not only are you paying a more pricey international tutition, but the money you spend for materials is CRAZY. It may depend on your major but 95% of the majors do same core classes anyway for the first two years so you won't be missing out much if you do decide to go public, which in my opinion is very wise. Just make sure the classes which you take at the public school get transfered. Trust me, it took me two years in a private art school in New York to realize that all I was doing was wasting money for my undergrad education. Sure the experiences is important but really, since most people go to grad school anyway, completing your undergraduate in a public school is a very wise choice. Later when you really decide on a specific major, then I suggest then doing to a private art school for graduate or even for the two years.
