Design education has always been the road not taken, or less taken. So finding a good design school with a course that you love sounds far fetched. But it’s not impossible. Rhode Island School of Design, also known as RISD is one of the first art and design schools in the US, while the Parsons School of Design or Parsons, has been ranked the No. 1 design school in the country. Read on to find out more about how these two compare.
Rhode Island School of Design
Parsons School of Design
RISD has advanced tools and resources for students to use while Parsons’ undergraduate first year coursework itself is digital arts heavy. The RISD campus hosts some 80,000 artworks and Parsons is located at the heart of the New York Art Scene. Both are amazing schools, but it’s more about which one suits the artist in you better.
