I transferred to The Circus from Portfolio Center and it was the best decision I've ever made. I graduated with a book that I am so proud of, life long friends and a job at one of my favorite agencies. If you want to be a creative in advertising, this is where you get your start. Worth every penny!

My journey to Circus was an odd one. I was preparing to go to law school in my senior year of college and had a major change of heart. I decided I couldn't live with myself if I didn't give advertising (which I've always been passionate about) a shot. I initially planned on enrolling in a university...

One of the best things the Circus does for students is dispel the notion that creativity is magic. That is, I think, the essence of professionalism in any creative field: the ability to call up on demand, with regularity the headspace required to make an authentic something out of a legitimate n...

Two of the best years of my life were spent at the Creative Circus, and the years since haven't been too bad, either.

What the Circus is NOT:



What the Circus IS:
an Art Trade school: if you want to learn how to make a living making things you're proud of, then the Circus *is* for you. Th...

Best portfolio school by far.

Best portfolio school by far.

Don't let the name deceive you; no terrifying clowns will eat you here. :]

But you will get a killer book.

BOOM.

I enrolled after a few years in the real world, hating every job I had. I came in with no experience and they taught me how to think creatively as well as teaching me all the tools I needed to become an art director. Three years out, I couldn't be happier with my career. It was the best decision I e...

I'll keep this short because you're probably glancing at a million reviews, trying to make the best decision for your next big step in life.

First of all, I'm employed. I got offered a full-time job before I even finished my last quarter at the Circus. So unlike many undergraduate, fancy-pants sc...

I owe my career, many of my best friends, and meeting my wife to the Creative Circus. The school transformed my life and the same teachers who inspired and motivated me are still there. It's an incredible institution and I highly recommend it.

I emailed Dan Balser (advertising department head) before deciding on The Circus and asked him what exactly I would learn there. He basically said I would learn what I needed to learn. While a bit vague, he couldn't have been more right. I learned so much - and so fast. I met incredible people and p...

There's one Circus for a reason. Nowhere else will you find the hunger, drive and passion it takes to be in advertising so alive. Collaborative as it is competitive, the Circus is a family-one that will only continue to grow once you enter the industry. If you want to go far, go to the Circus.
