I will say, after having gone through my experience at CCS, that I am much more leery of master's programs for arts. I have often reflected upon my time there and have wondered similarly to some of the comments above ... about just having the motivation and drive to learn the craft and industry for a few years versus attending college.
I have thus concluded the following regarding Master's programs... unless you get a full ride/scholarship (which let's face it, is pretty rare for an art college) is that you could spend probably 1/4 of the money to develop your own studio space, experiment in your freetime, over the course of a few years and achieve the same results. Now, I suppose it's a different story if you want to 'teach' fine arts and/or design. But that's just my opinion... Master's education for fine arts/design discipline seems like a colossal waste of cash.
- Agreed. MFA only if you want to teach at the college level at some point.Jacque
