I have two questions that I pose simply out of curiosity:
1. Is there a school that is considered the premier ceramics education in
the USA? Or perhaps more properly, what schools offer the best ceramics
education?
2. Are the ceramics arts taken as seriously in art schools as in a good
university ceramics program?

Frank, I believe that Alfred ranks consistently at or near the top of the
list. As to your second question you will need to clarify what you mean by
"art schools" as opposed to "university ceramics programs."

Alfred is generally considered one of the premier schools for ceramic
education, including ceramic engineering. U.S. News and World Report ranks its
program number 1 followed by Cranbrook and then University of Washington.
Personally, I feel that Massachusetts College of Art has a great faculty and their
facilities are top notch as well.
As for whether or not Art Schools take ceramics seriously.....I can only
speak from experience at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago the department
is as esteemed as any in the M.F.A. program. Students can work in any area
that they want to, either in clay or in other media, and the experience is very
student centered and driven.
