to get more from a degree than new commercial work opportunities, i'd suggest....
for Media Master degrees in the states, maybe NYU-ITP or MIT-MediaLab or UCLA-DMA as programs to look into. For Graphic Design, Yale, Cranbrook, CalArts, RISD.
All the ArtCenter, SVA, Parsons, Pratt, Otis schools will focus more on marketability after graduation. Not that that's a bad thing.

Re: The Royal College of Art...
It all depends on this year's show imo, definitely worth a look but it's an important show for the CA&D course.
It's the first full year Brody has been in charge, Teal Triggs to also join shortly as Associate Dean.
The CA&D course was getting too artsy, esoteric and irrelevant over recent years, so it'll be interesting to see what impact Brody's had on his first full year.
Decent & recent alumni of the course:

- Ah QBN, always the grateful bunch. If you want to judge an entire course based on 5 alumni, go for it bro!biusness
- don't mean it in a negative way. It was an observation.clearThoughts
- woah, Teal's joining RCA?LOKi

The design portfolios coming out of these two schools are absolutely astounding on so many levels. Every portfolio that I have seen and or reviewed in the past couple of years have been incredible.
- Urls? This stuff looks pretty standard. Nothing like Yale or Wekplaats.randomname
- The student portfolios! Not the universities websites!utopian

Art Center is shitty for design, if you're going to California go to CalArts instead. Especially if you wanna get artsy, do weirder and/or more conceptual shit. The best place for odd stuff with an en extremem amount of thinking involved would probably be Cranbrook though. Go to Yale if you want lots of modernist influences. Werkplaats Typografie would be sick though too, faculty there are pretty out of control.

BTW- the reason I am considering doing an MA is because I feel I burned out doing to much web/ commercial work... I already worked several years at AD level.
Would love to do more installation work, moving image, thoughtful interface stuff or even art... somehow you'd think I could do that on my weekends, but somehow it doesn't happen.
Taken a year out and pushing myself creatively without having to worry about budgets could be amazing.

- so you're going to pay someone 30k to take a year off and not have to worry about money?lambsy

http://www.hyperisland.se- Hyper Island always looked so 'agency/commercial' to me... I imagine it can help you get a jobclearThoughts
- but not so sure it would really push youclearThoughts
- actually, i know 1 person who is a grad from there. he loved it and became an AD quickly, but he's also in europe.ohhhhhsnap
- I'm an AD already, just feel stuck career wise and want to take a sabbatical and do more Art / Moving ImageclearThoughts
- sounds like The New School might be a good option, 7 frikken schools... if you don't want to do Media Studies MFA you could switchohhhhhsnap
- switch and enroll Parsons (so much $$$ though)... have fun on your hunt and hiatus.ohhhhhsnap

What is the best place in your opinion?
I'm looking at either the Royal College of Arts or Parsons in New York. Any thoughts? Other ones?
