Graduate School Research: Rhode Island School of Design

I am interested in RISD because I like the idea of their loose graduate level structure. They focus on individual study and research, unlike their undergraduate program which is more structured. They define photography "broadly as an ever-changing set of technical, conceptual, and aesthetic conditions that have emerged from the histories of the medium and that exist within broader social, cultural, and aesthetic contexts."

In comparison with the School of Visual Arts, the SVA seems to focus on a rigorous structured program, different from the independent research driven program that RISD has.
