There are alums of all those schools on this list. Hopefully one of
them will step up. My experience with grad programs in ID at least is
that they tend to have an extra year for non-designers so that they
can take "foundations" studios.
I'm going the technologist->designer-via-school route right now, and I
cannot stress strongly enough the importance of taking foundation
studios, especially if you do not have any sort of formal art/studio
background.
Before entering grad school, I did the first year of undergrad design at
Carnegie Mellon, my skills (and perspective) really benefitted from two
semesters of fundamental 2d and 3d studio classes. Some of our grad
programs have a 6-week summer prelim program, but IMHO, that's just not
the same as 32 weeks of intensive studio time. Yes, it's an extra year
of school, but you'll be glad you did it.
