College rankings...

[Mrvile]

Are there any good sites where I can get legit college rankings for certain fields? I'm looking primarily for fine arts (specifically graphic design or illustration). Thanks!

Checked there...but they only had general rankings and their ranks for fine arts and whatnot are very limited...

best thing to do is talk to a recruiter for a company that you would like to work for someday. Even better if you call for the geographical area that you would like to work at. As far as I've seen they don't do many rankings outside of business or engineering and whatnot, it's very subjective and hard to "rank" schools in other fields.

Hmm, well that's true. I'm very open as to what colleges I want to go to, so geographical location and cost and such don't really matter as much.

A senior art student recommended RISD, Cooper Union, and MICA as the top 3, and also recommended School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, Ringling, Pratt, and Parson's, among others. However, her opinion is limited and I want to see a broader thought on this (like USNew's rankings) but so far I haven't been able to find any.
