The staff here has been amazing. The facilities are great. If you're 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 isn't an inexpensive college, so make sure you look into scholarship programs as well.

THE CCAD ART FAIR AND IT'S 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 isn't what this small group of judges likes.
I attended CCAD for 1 year. While I had A's 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 don't 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 don't 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.
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 i'd 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.
Great school, but it's very challenging. Most of the bad reviews come from people who dropped out. I would say that as a Graphic designer, the school set's 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 won't sleep when you're here.
