Don't invest your money here.

The teachers have masters but cant teach. Send them to a school to learn how to teach maybe - then bring them back.

The teachera arevery nice but cant teach what they know ,only assign tutorials. The chair of the department is trying to make it so the the alumni that come back are not allowed. Maybe it's because they have already paid and are no longer needed. Honestly, I learn more from them than I do the broken teachers. If you are looking for an education that is simalar to that of the this school go online and find tutorials, you will learn more and save 90k. This school is not worth the money. I read that other say those leaving bad remarks are lazy. I dont feel that this true. My portfolio so far outshines most. I take my time and go to sites that teach. This school doesn't. When I ask one teacher how can I make this project better their response is "don't wory you'll get better." I already know this much. Is it so much to ask a teacher to TEACH. As far as the lazy students leaving remarks or not.. in class these lazy students get the same grade as the students that work hard. When I asked the chair about this she said don't worry about them it's your portfolio that you should worry about. Well I am worried because, if this person who got the same grade as me goes to a job interview before me, shows their lack of work it already makes me look bad. These are the students that should not be allowed to proceed. Over all only a few students stand up to voice there opinion. Only to have an attempt to be silenced. Hear my warning, dont go here.

Responses
responseI graduated Fort lauderdale Art institute years ago with a degree in industrial design and I have to agree with this review. People should stay clear of this school. This is a design school, it should stand out as a leader. But, it doesn't. This is a for profit school first, stuff in between with education being last. Get the students in and get them out. I wish I went to Ohio state or SCADD. These are premium schools. If this school was a technical based school and only charge 30 / 40k total they might have some merritt with what is taught. However, this school is over priced.
