I read through a book about printmaking while at work, and learned about lithography, woodcut, metal engraving, chine-collé…

What are other topics that might be covered at art school? How do the courses work compared to a traditional university?

it likely depends on the school and the specific curriculum. many schools have fairly detailed overviews of which courses are required and offered, and some even publish the syllabi for courses

an older more traditional institution may focus more on art history, conservation, and traditional media while a newer or broader school may offer study paths more geared toward digital design and marketing

They start by testing for personality traits associated with historical authoritarian dictators and, if found, prioritizing the test subject's placement in a program with a high retention rate. Won't make the same mistake twice.
