How Similar Is A Fine Arts College To A Technical college?

December 26th, 2009 by admin

Can a degree from a fine arts college such as "Savannah College of Art and Design" be just like a degree from a technical college? I plan on getting my master in graphic design, and I want to make sure I will have the same if not more benefits from having a graphic design degree from a fine arts college opposed to getting my master in graphic design at a technical college.

As an art director, I’ve looked at many different resumes and portfolios from both college students and vocational/technical grads. It hasn’t even been close – the university grads always have better stuff. More conceptual, more refined ideas, more original designs. I would think, if you were in search of a Masters degree, that would be most important.

Best of luck.
