Went Part time year round for close to 6 years in order to graduate. Left $63,000.00 in debt. Job placement is a joke. They went through 3 career services people in a 5 year span. $900.00 Lunch meetings Claims of the 95% success rate in job placement, includes work like henna tattooing at six flags. Fires good teachers that disagree with the administration, which is fine it is a private school. It does mean that there is little to no growth in certain aspects of learning and training. Some people go on to have wonderful work in the arts most people leave bitter.

Honestly if you have the cash out of pocket to learn the arts, your better off finding an artist to work under or small clubs or groups that study. Decide then if you want to learn at a school.
