Thats going to be pretty hard to do. Yale has a great scene design program if you can get in. Carnegie, Yale, and
Purchase are the big 3 when it comes to grad programs in the traditional
book. NYU, Arizona, Chapel Hill, Florida State, University of Illinois, and
Cal Arts are also great schools. Many of the faculty at these programs attended the other programs for their MFA.
All of these programs are extremely competitive to get into. Also, a few of them will cost you a pretty penny. If you already have loans, you could easily double or triple your debt. Many of these programs want people that are currently working professionally in their chosen field and want to refine their skills. They want you to have real world experience so you will know what you want our of your education. If you have not assisted another designer in a professional environment or designed several times in a professional environment, you might want to consider holding off for a few years. This is not only to help
build up your portfolio, but to fully ensure that this is what you want to do. Application deadlines for many Universitys is in January or February. Some have began accepting people already. Deadline for
URTA is already over. Really, you are already too late to the game for the 2011 school year.
URTA is really the place to find a grad school. There, a school chooses you then you can choose from the schools that want you. Its not a bad way to go.
