“I have learned a great deal at AAU,BrightArt & Design Department
I have learned a great deal at AAU, the only problem is finding quality teachers. The online courses are fantastic but you miss out on the classroom experience and facilities. The school is really what you make of it-work hard and you will receive the benefits. By all means if you cannot understand the teacher (many Asian teachers)' because of language barrier, SWITCH! In conclusion , the school has much to offer, they need to remove the unqualified teachers and the faculty needs to be accessible to better help its students.

“Im an international student and I graduated aQuite BrightArt & Design Department
Im an international student and I graduated a couple yrs back. I loved almost everything about the school, 99% of my teachers r super professional and talented. It's a private sch and definitely it's quite expensive, esp if you live in dorms, indeed was quite a rip off..however i think the sch has plenty of resources for us to enjoy. We students juz need to find out what they r n make the best use of it. The instructors really pushed your limits, just that it depends on us whether we want to b pushed. U can't go to class but not work hard, instructors can't magically turned u into a famous artist if u didnt work hard yourself.

“Tuition is quite expensive, for 24 units aQuite BrightArt & Design Department
Tuition is quite expensive, for 24 units a years it's about $20,00 not including room and board. San Francisco is an expensive city, add another $18,000 for room and board, and another $1,000-$10,000 a year on supplies depending on what department your in. So for a years worth at the Academy of Art, it's going to cost you about $45,000 a year. To get your BA in fine arts, it takes you about 5 years to gradate. A grand total of $225,000.
