The Academy of Art accepts any and everyone. That would be its one fault, because if you are going to go to an Art School make sure that you are serious about it and can draw decently. If you struggle with the technical side of things, like how to use computers and programs, don't know your art lingo or can't get things done on time. Don't waste your time, its not an easy school and though they claim they will teach you to draw, the only way you are going to learn is if you want to learn to draw with every fiber of your being and nothing else in this world matters. San Francisco was an amazing place to learn, the school has students from different majors work together to help build your portfolios. If you are thinking about doing graphic design, go New Media, which does graphic design and so much more and the classes are very fun and knowledgeable. The Advertising program was fun, but the first year classes are intense so people will drop like flies or switch to account planning because they can't execute their ideas. The online classes aren't as demanding as the onsite classes, but are convenient if you juggle both and saves you time going downtown to class. I wouldn't recommend the online program, just because living in San Francisco is really such an awesome experience and though it is expensive to live there it is well worth it.

I just started doing online classes for Web Design/New Media. The online classes are okay the homework is can be tricky and my classmates are annoying. My biggest problem with the school is that they keep losing my transcripts even though I made sure my high school and college had them mailed out and honestly I feel that it makes them look very unprofessional and disorganized and it makes me feel like I going crazy.

I read the negative comments from some other students and wonder if they went to the same school as I did. I loved this school. It challenged me and helped me and let me be the weird person I am. I am now doing well in my career - thank you school! If you want to be YOURSELF and try all kinds of strange things and styles and modes of dress with most people cheering you on, come here.
