KCAI is best known for its dual degree program in a studio art and a liberal art. This program is fairly new, and is a great way to get into a high level graduate school. It is also very well known for its Ceramic department, known to be one of the best in the nation. Overall it is one of the better art schools in the nation.

I believe KCAI is best known for being one of the top art schools in the country. They really try everything to get you prepared to be an artist and not to listen to what society may say about getting jobs in the arts. KCAI is all about waking you up and making you realize what it really takes to become what and who you really want to be as an artist.

I believe this school is best known for the foundation program. It is a valuable beginning to becoming an artist. When the students arrive they are placed in small groups with one instructor for a full semester. The work load is demanding and it allows the students the opportunity to find their strengths which more specifically defines their interests. It prepares students for the forthcoming academic demands and time management skills necessary to fulfill studio demands. The second semester of foundation offers several workshops for students to choose from. They differ as they relate to different major fields of study.
