Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Art & Design Department  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright This is great community college. I save alot of money coming here. There are a few complaints though, which I rated above mostly. The first is the complete lack of a social scene. Another is available class times. I am in both the graphic arts and culinary program- the culinary program will have a class you must take- that's 5 hours long in the middle of the week, in the middle of a work day, with a coreq that is the same- so you'll have 2 of these at once. Good luck finding a job to accommodate that schedule! I know for a fact that there is at least 5 classes like that alone in the culinary program. Stopped me in my tracks. OH and don't take Mike Murphy for American gov't (intro) class. Unless of course you like to spend 12-20 hours a week outside of a 3 hour lecture- doing dense ridiculous quantities of homework at law-school level. I wish there was some sort of review for faculty on the wcc site that would warn us in a professional way about teachers like this. I know there are other gov't teachers who teach the same class who demand about 2-5 hours a week- that's reasonable. If I had known....! Campus Maintenance: A+, Campus Aesthetics: F Have a Question?

People in my department are open to new ideas, meeting new people, making connections, helping each other out. Many older students and burn-outs, so social life isn't so great, but Ann Arbor is an interesting place. Innovation: A+, Extracurricular Activities: C Have a Question?

The visual arts teachers have very high standards, which comes as a shock to those who take art as a "fun" elective. The art department is a very dedicated and over-qualified bunch.Also, the graphic design and photography programs seem excellent, I don't know much from personal experience, but the facilities are phenomenal. A lot of art and design-oriented people could save money by coming here and feeling their way around their field before committing to a more expensive education. If you are dedicated here, I think you can transfer to wherever you want to (and can afford to) go. Faculty Accessibility: A+, Social Life: C- Have a Question?
