Suggested List of Colleges to Look at for Specific Majors
Note: In the arts, often your teachers will have knowledge of specific strengths of schools that offer many
areas under one umbrella (e.g. Visual and Performing Arts might be the major, but photography might be
your interest). Be sure to consult with teachers for college ideas. This list is not meant to be all-inclusive
and colleges will be added as we learn more about their programs.
