I'm at a community college right now, and I want to transfer to a good art school. Does anyone have recommendations for art colleges that are transfer-friendly and have strong programs?

3. Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD): SCAD provides many resources to make the transition easier for transfer students. The school is well-regarded in many areas, including fashion, interior design, and graphic design.

4. School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC): SAIC has an inclusive transfer policy and counts among the world's most influential art schools. They offer a range of programs including painting, drawing, sculpture, and art education.
