That's why I asked for European schools.
In the US the rules of education is $. You can't go directly to C without going through A and B first. So everybody gets paid and you'll leave school with a nice red minus on your bank account
Education in Europe is more flexible, they base everything on talent, creativity and motivation.
So who knows the good ones?

what the hell is the point in doing an MA?? Work experience is far batter than a MA.
At the end of the day its your portfolio that gets you the job in the design world not what degree you got. I know people doing MA's and there work still looks shit.

People usually get MFA's & MA's in order to teach at the Universtity level or get a higher paying position requiring that degree.

We've had this discussion in school and that is my problem if I ever want to teach at an american college. You probably have to be a superstar for them to overlook that. Stupid rule tho IMO

I know this guy who got a BA and a MA without a high school diploma -- that's the lax CA state university system for you.

That's kind of cheesy and annoying to me that someone could get a Masters without having a Bachelors. Why should you get a Masters if you haven't done the four years of work, all the general studies and the foundation of the subject.
I worked with this dude who bragged about his Masters all the time and had a cheesy Board of Trustees Bachelors degree that counted his life experience as school.
So he went to school say 2 years and is bragging about having a Masters. So cheesy.

Sure you can, they are going to base it on your experience and also your talent. It happens all the time.

... the point of a MA?
-if there is an area which you like to explore in great detail, which you probably won't have the chance to explore at work, you can do that on a MA. I am currently doing one in interactive production and looking particularly into mixed/augmented reality systems. Also conceptually you do get a whole new perspective on things. + it gives you the opportunity to go into teaching, in case you ever get bored of the commercial life.
And I also have to say there is a guy on my course who hasn'T got a undergrad degree (but 10+ years of experience in the field).

Well with that being said, you might still be required to take general standard courses and such that are BA type classes.
