Printmaking is the process of making artworks by printing, normally on paper. Printmaking normally covers only the process of creating prints that have an element of originality, rather than just being a photographic reproduction of a painting. Except in the case of monotyping, the process is capable of producing multiples of a same piece, which is called a print. Each print produced is not considered a "copy" but rather is considered an "original".(read more at wiki)
Here we introduce best colleges in the field of printmaking where Rhode Island School of Design is ranked top and University of Wisconsin-Madison is positioned on second place.
We briefly compare those top colleges with various factors such as tuition, admission, graduation, enrolment, and more. The full comparison for each factors with tables and charts is described at printmaking colleges comparison page.

Graduation Rates Comparison
Next, we compare the graduation rate between best Printmaking schools.
The graduation Rate is calculated as the total number of completers within 150% of normal time divided by the revised cohort minus any allowable exclusions.
For example, 6 years rate is applied for 4 year schools. For detail information of your desired school, follow links on the school name.
Next table shows the graduation rate by gender. the numbers in parenthesis means completers over total cohort.

Student To Fauclty Ratio Comparison
Student-to-faculty ratio is defined as total students not in graduate or professional programs
divided by total instructional staff not teaching in graduate or professional programs.
The student-to-faculty ratio is applicable only to institutions with undergraduate students.
Next two tables compare the student-to-faculty ratio between best schools.
For detail information of each school, follow the link on the school name. The ratio is calculated by dividing total number of students by total numbers of faculty.
(for example, the ratio is 11.9 % for 131 students and 11 faculty members)
