I'm passionate about both art and business, and I want to find colleges that offer strong programs in these areas. Any recommendations on where I could pursue both fields and have access to good resources?
Several schools offer robust programs in both art and business.
At the University of Pennsylvania, you could potentially double major or major/minor through the Wharton School for Business, and the College of Arts & Sciences for art. Another approach could be to apply to their Huntsman Program, a dual degree program that combines business and international studies.
Carnegie Mellon University is another option; their College of Fine Arts is highly regarded, and the Tepper School of Business is also top-notch.
The University of Southern California offers the Iovine and Young Academy, an interdisciplinary program that combines art, business, and technology.
Over on the East Coast, New York University could be a consideration. You could pursue art at the Tisch School of the Arts and business at the Stern School of Business. Additionally, NYU has a dual degree program in business and interactive media arts.
RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) and Brown University have a joint degree program where you can earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Bachelor of Arts or Science in areas such as Business, Entrepreneurship, and Organizations.
Do ensure though, that you research each program's structure and admission requirements to see whether they align with your aspirations.
