This is an excellent school, that will give you real world skills that will pay off in the marketplace. It is also a tough two year (or more) program where I had many all nighters to get my work done. The culture is a competitive one and also one where you will learn excellence. Not sure who was more talented the teachers or the students. Anyway if you are serious about working in one of the fields of study that they offer then it is worth going for! It paid off for me and I feel it has turned out to be one of the better life decisions I have made. If I could do it all over I would have had a four year degree completed before going there. Because I was so busy after graduation, it was difficult to return to school to pursue a degree but I did manage to go back and get an Associates Degree. It may be worthwhile to ask to see a copy of the job lists that they provide their graduates and also reach out to graduates in the field you want to pursue via social media or LinkedIn to find out about their careers.

I’m extremely glad I came here and I learned so much about myself. But, as an autistic student, it was terrible. I had to work at least twice as hard as my fellow students. When I expressed I was having a hard time to the higher ups, they suggested I worked harder. The other students were allowed to bully me incessantly, which was brought to the attention of the staff, they did nothing. There’s no help for students with learning differences. While trying to get clarification, I had multiple teachers yell at me and refuse to explain things differently; they felt repeating the same instruction louder was sufficient. This school is hard enough without a brain that sees the world differently. Also, there is no elevator and no accessibility for anyone who is disabled. Those of us who are disabled and have divergent thinking, deserve equal education, too. Especially when it’s $5000+ a quarter.

Greatest thing to happen to the visual arts since paint

I’m a Sr. Art director at Ogilvy NY. I had the pleasure of being a guest speaker here in October 2018. Great advertising and design school. Smart students. Awesome portfolios. Amazing experience.

Best life choice I have ever made.
