Academy of Art University

I have been a student for a full year now and it is an incredible school for art lovers. Currently, I am an online-only student and have only visited campus but I can't wait to stay in a dorm in my coming semesters. The professors are always available and respond within one to two days if not immediately depending on the time of calls. The Zoom meetings are a gem to attend and it's always good to see the faces of your fellow online exclusive classmates. I cannot recommend the Academy of Art University enough to fellow art majors.

The art field is nice and I feel safer in my surroundings.

My opinion about Academy of Art University is that in an online classes the professors only get back to you when they can. Not all of them but some. The reading for the online is boring and hard to get through the assignments don't really teach much, plus the videos are long and dreadful. I believe there was one video where the person was chewing food and it felt like he was in your ear I couldn't stand it. My experience in person yes its more informal and the fine arts class are more hands on. The professors are more interactive and get fun with the exercises. They do help with learning new ways of keeping the students focused which is good.

Overall I am very excited attending the Academy of Art University because I really feel the faculty and staff are there to help and guide their students. The school has many programs to offer and allows you to learn both on campus or online. I am more partial to online though as it works with my work schedule. I look forwarded to earning my bachelor's of interior design and be able to one day apply it to my future career.

The teachers are very skilled, professional and helpful. They are top artists from the industry and they help also to network with other artists. The university organizes many events, but not always related to your major. However, the liberal arts classes and foundations classes that you need to take are too many. The major classes are very few compared to the overall academic path. The buildings are pretty old on campus. The food is only from the vending machines or some cafes in some buildings. At the moment my experience, plus the price of classes, was not very satisfying.

Excellent online program for students learning from all over the world. Campus also has a lot of international students. Instructors are empathetic and helpful. Learned a lot and built a foundation for a successful creative career. Also a lot of adjunct, rotating instructors who are actively working in the creative industry, so had insight on the work you would be doing after graduation. Not a lot of technical instruction, but good conceptual learning.

I love and am very proud of my school. It is challenging, especially since I live on the other side of the country and am taking an online program. That being said, I've had/have amazing instructors with challenging and very educational curriculums that can be taken at any experience level. I would highly recommend my school to any aspiring artist from anywhere around the world.

I honestly think if you do online classes like me fulltime, it's not for the weak or students who want a social life(friends) or an educator to have help on assignments. Being an online student for fashion AA Product Development is the best and worst choice I ever made. The best reasons to enroll online: 1. you can work, tend to other stuff in your life if you're busy. and that's it for the positive. The worst reasons to enroll online is for each class is 3,000 not to mention every instructor you get has different rules on assignments and late work, no matter what if you have a learning disabilities or mental health issue, they will fail you. Also, it's not exactly work when you want every instructor has zoom meetings 1 a week so if you can't make it its 10% off your grade. That is the only time you get to see your instructor, also you don't really get to meet the students or communicate with them unless you personally do so. I have to continue my choice I made coming here till the end. If you can enroll to a community college for fashion (DO IT!) Also attend fashion school in person don't make a mistake to do it online.

Easily the most impressive art/design school in my opinion. As a student, you have access to so many important resources in the art/design industry, the Academy basically sets you up for success. Also, the alumni at the Academy are extremely impressive!

Empowering yourself through the arts is one of the best ways to improve mental health and self-confidence. Many well-known artists started out by gaining inspiration from performances such as poetry or dance-dramas. The arts are easily accessible no matter where you're from or what career path you follow. Everyone can benefit from learning how to express themselves through the arts; the world would be a much more pleasant place if everyone learned how to act!

Since I applied not really sure if i was ready to make the step to enroll i was welcomed my student advisor sean and he not only made the enrollment process easier he is always available to awnser questions. And our classrooms are some of the best in the country

It is an excellent school for aspiring artists and designers of all kinds and I really love how there courses are oriented on building a competitive portfolio in order to obtain an industry job or internship. Every course provided has a practical real world application as well as an artistic one. The professors are also generally friendly and have a genuine interest in seeing you succeed.

I'm currently majoring in Game Design as an ONLINE student at the Academy of Art University, so I don't get many in-person advantages as some of my in-personal peers. That said, the classes I've taken and the connection of students and teachers outside of the classes (mainly through discord) have been amazing. Every class, even the ones I wasn't looking towards too, have been great. I honestly wouldn't say they are worth the money of 3,000$ per class, but I am learning a lot and having a fun time doing so.

I think this school has good ways of learning about animation and visual effects. It’s not perfect but I think it’s a decent place to study visual effects.

The Academy of Art University helps provide an environment where we can study and learn even offsite with their online semesters. Not only that, it helps to remove and accelerate the knowledge of different subjects through practice. It allows students to seek out their interests going through the trial and error that it takes and learn from those who have come before to teach them those experiences. They pass down their knowledge that can go beyond just learning to help you grow by developing patience, trouble solving skills, and even find ways to help you learn better or teach others who may have similar ideas or interests. I enjoy education because it has helped me understand what I want to do in life, where my interests are, and helped me save time and the headache of trying multiple trials. What education can provide is more than just that; however, it also facilitates development progression. Furthermore, I have learned a great deal. I have experienced so much during my time attending that I would recommend this College to anyone considering furthering their education. I feel that AUU stands by its goal of teaching real jobs skills and helping develop them for future careers.
