Picking the right school for you can be time consuming as you have to do a lot of research beforehand, but here, I have a list of 13 Great Design Schools that are perfect to get you Started in Design.

    Gotta give a shoutout to my Alma Mater, the University of Central Florida. Their Digital Media program is amazing, and the FIEA program is even more awesome. Seems like not too many people know about it. It’s a public institution, so I think most people disregard it as a decent place to get a degree in such a specific subject.

    Also, Savannah College of Art and Design is another really good school.

  12. A number of these are in the “proprietary/for-profit” segment of the education industry. Not that that necessarily is bad, but really buyer beware. Perhaps even more so than for any high-priced education!

    For example, http://www.consumerwarningnetwork.com/2010/01/21/for-profit-colleges-under-the-microscope-as-students-complain/

    Awesome list! I wish I still had the time and money to go back to school. After graduating I’ve learned so much and it’s fueled my fire to learn more about design and web programming. If I ever do decide to go back I’ll be checking this list again, but for now I’ll keep my nose in books and online tutorials.

    Thanks Julio for putting this together
