Car Design Schools?

[Ion Pulse]

Do you know of any universities which run courses which specialize in car design??

[GAMsALeh]

There's Coventry uni, which is like the leading one in the world, then there is London's Royal College of Art, which is also good... You wanna study car design?

[Ion Pulse]

Yep, I've always wanted to do that.

Thanx 4 the help

Art Center College of Design, definately a premier design school.

[bonzelite]

yes. Art Center in Pasadena, CA. it is about fifteen minutes from my house.

very expensive, though. about 40 thousand dollars for two years.

^^^for that reason i hear that many people will go to another school to get their design degree, and go there for that crash course in transport design which is probably easier on the wallet.

[bonzelite]

good idea. i would avoid art center unless absolutely necessary. once in a while, while out on jobs, i get the question "hey, did you go to art center?" and i take it as a compliment sort of. i then say "no, i couldn't afford it. i'm just a self-taught redneck from georgia."

Auburn (my other choice) is $21,000 a year for out of state. The cool thing is that its only 45 miles away from Foose Design.

What is it with you and Chip Foose?

BTW, I like your new title, sounds like a hot-rod planned parenthood agency.

I was looking at Coventry a while back, but its more of a school to go to after youve completed for years somewhere else. Like, just to get a high degree in auto design. I would love to go there though. Im currently looking at the Art Institute of Colorado, and the Academy of Art College. Im looking for good Graphic Design programs.

I dont know. I definately admire him, and his work. Everytime I watch overhaulin I get chills. Yes all that sounds corny so who cares. I normally dont really like the really popular people, but this is an exception.

I know it was, is it the one you chose?

[HighOctaneNOSUser]

That sounds pretty cool Mike, I think that you have found a winner!

[mike@af]

Ok, I just had to change the title of the thread because it was getting annoying. Everytime I walk in here I forget what the thread was about, so I get to open it up again.
