Great school and a wonderful program from what I learned during my daughters visit. The aesthetics of the campus are beautiful!

Awesome special exhibit of A Robinson lifes work.Not to be missed.

Great school, but its very challenging. Most of the bad reviews come from people who dropped out. I would say that as a Graphic designer, the school sets you up to be a professional in business practice and has you work with a lot of real-world clients. Over-all, Great school and program. I would recommend it to anyone who is strong and wants a challenge. You wont sleep when youre here.

Plenty Air competition. Great day, lots of masks and distancing. Lots of great art. Same venue next year!

Awesome, I had a really great time. I would love to come back sometime.

THE GIRL I LIKE A LOT WENT TO THIS SCHOOL, I FEEL LIKE IT CANT BE THAT BAD, IM JUSSAYIN.

THE CCAD ART FAIR AND ITS JUDGES ARE A JOKE!THEY ARE BIASED AND NOT A GOOD REPRESENTATION FOR ART ACROSS THE BOARD.I have seen people selling printer paper with a sharpie drawing at the art fair, yet they decline truly talented artists just because it isnt what this small group of judges likes.

Loved it. though I am still looking for a job in my field, i feel that I walked away after graduating knowing a LOT more than i thought id ever know. Most of the bad reviews in my opinion are from people who were not ready to commit, or work to learn. I might have had a hard time the first few years, but I greatly enjoyed and appreciated all my professors there. If you are willing to work and study hard, while at the same time have a passion for art, I highly recommend this school.

I attended CCAD for 1 year. While I had As in all of my classes, I was unable to complete my degree due to a schedule conflict that I was told would not be an issue.I work full time during the day. Before enrollment, I explained to Admissions that I can only attend classes at night due to my work schedule. They explained to me that this would not be a problem and I would be able to complete my degree though night classes. After a year (and a whole lot of money!) I was informed that if I wanted to complete my degree that I would have to attend classes during the day as that is the only time core classes are taught.They offered to sign me up for another semester of night classes in hopes something changes in their policy and we can wait and see. I dont know about you, but that is a lot of money for a wait and see. So here I am, $15k later at another school.As far as the classes, half of the classes really worked to teach you something. The other half you would watch a YouTube video and and do an assignment. The teacher was there if you had questions, but would often differ you back to the YouTube video stating I dont know the software that well.And if you do decide that this is the school for you, I recommend you take classes during the day. Night teachers are hard to find it seems so it is not uncommon to see a Pottery teacher teaching the Drawing class.

One of Columbus, Ohios many treasures. They care about art/design - but care about their students even more. World class education.

The staff here has been amazing. The facilities are great. If youre considering an art college, schedule a tour and attend the open house. I know you will be impressed. I look forward to my young artist going here. It isnt an inexpensive college, so make sure you look into scholarship programs as well.

Wonderful school of arts

@Daniel Ohm was very aggressive towards students at the game jam. He showed up 2 hours late, declared himself lead of a team, and then demanded to know students full names even though it was not necessary. He was there for a total of 20 minutes before he got kicked out and did not work on the project once. He is an unpleasant man.CCAD has been good so far!

LOVE IT even I dont go to it I love it by how the students can go and eat when there out because everything is close to the college.

My experience as a student at CCAD was amazing. As an alumni of this college and as a professional working artist, I will always be grateful for the amazing education I received from the Columbus College of Art and Design. I have an awesome career in the arts and I give part of that credit to my college and the intense art program I went through.To the persons review that claims theyll take anyone. Well, most students go to school to learn. A lot of people walk into an art school not knowing what to expect. Thinking art shouldnt be graded is unrealistic-- as an artist your work will be graded your entire life. The idea that art cant be taught is simply not true. Practice makes perfect. Why not learn from someone who has years more experience than you. And learn amongst other students, who will be some of the most talented people youll ever meet. The notion that in the 21st century the self taught artists exist, is just ridiculous. Artists learn from other artists and always have. The difference here is that, if you decide that youre going to go to college for art and earn a degree in that field-- well, expect to be taught! Oh and graded. And guess what, youre going to learn to create art starting from the most basic shapes.The art world is competitive and its tough. If you want to succeed as an artist, you need to work hard and know your field. Attending a college like CCAD is a great place to start. I give a million thanks to the Columbus College of Art and Design for the amazing experience, life long friendships and most of all helping me evolve into a successful work artist.

Well, better late than never! I attended night school for two years at CCAD between 1970-1975, not sure exactly which years. I took basic 2-D Design, Theory, and Figure Drawing.I remember feeling mostly terror my first day upon seeing the fabulous student art everywhere. How could I ever meet these standards? What happened is that my wonderful first teacher, Mr. Bill Van der Veld, taught all of us how to be artists. He was so patient, knowledgeable, yet exacting and demanding. At the end of the class, my collage was chosen to hang on the wall in the hall: the same wall I looked at when I first came. I had done it!!! Throughout the years, the techniques I learned at CCAD have guided me. Ive been a printmaker, and am now a jewelry designer. Just last week I was designing a necklace, using principles Id been taught decades ago at CCAD. Their art courses were the best Ive ever had. Sometimes the instructors are more like drill sergeants than professors: thats a good thing.Obviously I strongly recommend CCAD for art study.I strongly recommend this school for any art student: you will learn much!

I personally attend this school and love EVERYTHING about it 😍

Pewwsssshhh (nails on chalkboard)

What a waste of time and money, they let everyone in.

Place SUCKS!
