“Stay away from this school.Super BrilliantOther
Stay away from this school...You will regret it....
It is not accredited and even if it was somewhat accredited, no one will hire you in the industry...I had a friend that graduated 2 years ago and to this day, still cannot find a job in the advertising industry because most companies said that his portfolio was not impressive, and he graduated #2 in his class...

No one is impressed by this Diploma farm...They give you a worthless diploma and say you have a BFA that only the school will acknowledge...The staff does not give a shit about you...I talked to a teacher, lets just say his initals are M.R. (I don't want to get him in trouble, he's cool) He told me to just take my money and my talents elsewhere...THis is coming from a teacher at the school...The only reason he's working there is to make money and once he sells one of his scripts, he's quitting and moving to Hollywood....
Stay away from this worthless school...I'm not saying this out of spite...I would love to graduate and get a BFA in Motion pictures and TV...but not from this school...
I tried to keep an open mind about this school halfway through the semester, but as soon as I started seeing my classmates dropping out every week of class, I couldnt do it any longer and realized that I was wasting my time and money here...
Do the right thing...go to a Community College and transfer to a state or private college...This school just plain sucks...Especially the acting department...

“In one of the summer classes I paidQuite BrightFine Arts - Painting/Sculpture/Photography/etc
In one of the summer classes I paid $1,700.00 for a 8 week class. The instructor took 2 weeks to critique the completed assignments. In an 8 week class you move so fast that finding out what you did right or wrong 2 weeks ago doesn't help. When we asked why it took so long she said "I have other classes to take care of". For $1,700. I don't want to here crap like that. The whole class was a waste of time and money.

“The city is beautiful, the faculty for theQuite BrightArt & Design Department
The city is beautiful, the faculty for the most part is nice and helpful. The only bad part about the school is the president. If you want a very well rounded art education in one of the best cities for art, then go here. If you don't want to spend alot of money go to community college, complete all your Liberal arts and GS classes, then take alot of your art classes at The Art Institute then get into the serious stuff at AAU.
