If you are choosing a Visual & Performing Arts program in Ohio, weigh program-specific accreditation, clinical or apprenticeship placement, and the institution's articulation agreements with Ohio public universities (for transfer-bound students) or its local employer relationships (for occupational tracks). Within Ohio published tuition tends to fall in a tight range, so the program-quality questions usually matter more than cost.
