For the sake of your future, do not attend this "college".

Professionalism is close to non-existent, and quality of education is questionable. I am a recent graduate, and I will be honest, Career Services will email you listings that do not require degrees, and what is relevant is unpaid internship work. I had a paid internship three months post grad, and what the job entailed was a far cry from what I was qualified for. The company that hired me was too small, Nd would have benefitted off of two illegal immigrants at the hourly wage they paid me.

I am going back to school for a more useful degree, and recommend anyone that wants to have a proper education look elsewhere. They will yell you anything to hook you on their school, but it is not a Fine Art School. Otherwise, they would require a portfolio and would admit based on talent. Coming from this background and being accepted into internationally recognized schools, I can assure upcoming students: If you have true talent, take it elsewhere to be developed.
