But in general a lot of design can cross all mediums. Perhaps I'm over optimistic in thinking that there are more applicable MFA programs out there then there are. In end I don't see more education as a bad thing. You, Dan, prove that it's not necessary for all people. I still like to think institutions will step up and teach a new level of web design.

But an MFA in Design (not <em>web</em>) seems to me a different animal. For instance, one could have incredibly sharp design skills, yet still be the world's worst <em>web</em> designer.
