Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Architecture  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright I received a Bachelors of Science degree with honors in environmental design from Art Center. I paid over $150,000 for what turned out to be a community college education. The curriculum was a mess, the teachers were disgruntled, the administration was completely consumed with politics and the facilities were pathetic. The administration is still a shambles five years after I graduated! Art Center did a lousy job of preparing me for a design career. By the time I realized this school was a scam (my third term out of eight), it was too late - I was already on the hook with Sallie Mae for over $35,000. So it was either quit 1/3 of the way through, pay back the money and have nothing to show for it, or speed through and get a degree. I would have been better off taking a $200 AutoCAD course and getting an entry level job at a design firm. Knowing what I know now, I would NEVER make the mistake of attending Art Center again. It was a colossal waste of time and money. Starting Job: designer, Preparedness: F, Reputation: D Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

This makes students draw inspiration from other artists or even their own class mates, making work all look the same. People out side of Art center comment on the "art center style", saying art center produces artists that all do the same work. Campus Aesthetics: A+, Social Life: F Have a Question?

The dean of students, Ms. Tracy Tambascia for example, has absolutely no interest in helping students in even minor ways. The school is run like a country club for those who are supposed to run it, instead of being dedicated to student quality and success. Campus Aesthetics: A, Education Quality: F Have a Question?
