In art, does a university offers just as much opportunities in art as in a art school.?

I want to know if a university offer just as much opportunities in the art feild just as a art school. If the university is know to be good in art, is it just as changeling. I want to major in illustration and I will be going to East Carolina University. But will I be better of at an art school. I want to go to an art school but don't know if it is worth it. Plus, I decide I wanted to attend an art school and go into their graduate school. Would I then be getting the same education as in a art school. Plus, do people who graduate from art schools get better jobs and are more successful then people who graduate from universities.

Art schools are often better as they are usually extensions of museums, but they are also often hybrids and you must take your solids at a local college to get a degree in some instances.





Colleges don't, generally, do real things for a living except in the research department.





At the School of the Art Institute you are a part of the who Art institute and Museum process and might get to do work in the restoration room and have access to pictures to copy and work on.





YOu really need to go look at them





One to check out is Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.





Also the School of the Art Institute, New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia.





San Francisco College of Art





Cal Arts





This is not to say the Universities don't have good programs. Carloine LEaf, an animator with the NFBC who won an Academy Award did your undergraduate work at Harvard at their Animation Unit (the Carpenter Center) where she did Peter and the Wolf, a ground breaking film in sand.





There is also Rochester Institute of Technology (an Eastman sponsored school) that has a great computer art department.
Reply:Well some art schools have better technology and stuff like that since they are dealing only with that. However, it is mainly a case by case basis. A college degree in art will have you more well rounded in a variety of subjects and will make it possible for you to pursue teaching art in the future while a degree from an art institute probably would not since most educators don't recognize that as a degree.
