There are a couple CAD schools you can choose from SCAD and MCAD are the most well known. Other art schools include RISD, Ringling and SVA. I'd also consider MICA simply because of their awesome study abroad program. Its slightly tricky with private colleges that offer BFAs, because they may label a course as Interactive Media or Multimedia, when it really means New Media Art as opposed to strictly web design. A lot of schools offer a mix of motion graphics and graphic design as well. Other schools you can consider are the unaccredited Art Institute, and Full Sail. I've heard nothing but bad things about the latter so I would avoid it. If your looking for strictly trade learning and no conceptual new media nonsense Ai might be good to consider. Keep in mind though that you won't be able to transfer credits earned there anywhere else. If you aren't interested in unaccredited schools you should also check out your local community colleges offerings the credits you earn there will transfer to private art colleges if you change your mind later and find one that you like. Before applying for schools check and see whether or not they require a portfolio, I think a lot of the private art colleges do. Your portfolio is very important in the case that one is required; at the college I attend each prospective student is rated, and accepted, based on a 5 point scale; portfolio is worth 3pts, letter of interest 1pt and SAT/ACT scores are worth 1pt. Edit: I'm going to disagree with people who are saying that you should learn design on your own. Good graphic design needs to be taught you need to understand grids, hierarchy and be able to create intelligent systems that accurately convey your information. Unless you're actively involved in these sort of discussions where you're learning from a peer-group you won't get the kind of knowledge a design professor with an MFA can give you.
