Ross,
Def look at U-Mass Dartmouth. School has come a long way and grown since my wife and I greduated in 2000, Much bigger and more to offer. Excellent art programs. Several of my frat brothers greduated with various art degrees and are doin very well, especially the one that makes chainsaw sculptures. Tuition I think is less than Mass Fart and renta housing down here is pretty dirt cheap (New Beige or Fall Reeva, 10-15 min commutes)
0r She can come live with us as we r 4 miles down the the street.....and you can "visit" her and fish. ...........

My son wants to do art. I want to encourage him to do what he loves. Then I take him through Walmart and tell him he'll be lucky if this is where he can shop with an art degree. I don't want to seem like I'm pi$$ing on starving artists but I would like to see him not being starving in art, and me paying for it.

I have a BFA

Remember that to want to study art doesn't necessarily mean you're going to make a living from it. Odds are he'll find out in the first few years if that's what he really wants to do by picking a specialty, or pivot to something related where the creativity can be used in a more predictable manner.

Sometimes you just have to learn by doing. I certainly didn't have my path plotted at 18.
