last I heard it is very abstract thinking focused, so if you have no design background, you won’t be getting much of a foundation in employable skills. SAIC in Chicago is similar. Very artsy.
What kind of designer do you want to be when you graduate? IE, if you want to be doing hardcore shipping product (consumer electronics, footwear, housewares) this type of program is probably not the best. If you want to make an art piece and call it a chair, but make it so no one can actually sit on it without breaking it… carry on. I’m being overly sarcastic to make a point, but I do encourage you to think first about what you want to do when you get out of school and then find the educational path that is going to best facilitate that vs picking a school first.
