Best Art Schools for Master Degree in Northeastern Region? (master's, program, graduate)

[Ticc]

I am a sculpture student out of US and I am considering getting my Master's degree in US (preferably in these states: CT, DC, MA, MD, NJ, NY, PA, RI). I did some research about the institutions (in that area) offering a graduate program in sculpture, and found the following schools. but I would like to know which ones are considered more prestigious in "Contemporary Fine Arts" than others.

urban setting and of course tuitions are important to me. but I would consider a suburban area if the school is really good. and if I am able to get some financial aid (I guess, I am a good student), tutions wouldn't be a big deal.

the pricey ones:
- Rhode Island School of Design
- Maryland Institute College of Art

the more probable ones:
- CUNY: Brooklyn College
- MassArt - Massachusetts College of Art and Design
- Temple University

the suburban ones:
- SUNY College at Purchase
- SUNY College at New Paltz

I am open to new options though.

Check your PMs

Not northeast (but NY, PA, and MD aren't Northeast either, they are mid-atlantic), but VCU in Richmond, VA is the best sculpture school in the country.

Other ones you missed:
SMFA in Boston (School of the Museum of Fine Arts, almost on the same block as Mass Art)
Rochester Institute of Technology. Rochester, NY. Only offer ceramic sculpture though

Look into Alfred University in NY.
