Responses
| I agree. I graduated with a BFA and MA. The portfolio submission is a good point, but I think that would reduce the revenue the school needs to operate. Maybe restructure the programs to offset the lower student applications that would result from portfolio requirements. |

RMCAD was a premier school from what I read, but in light of new demographic changes and funding issues they are forced to accept practically anyone interested in art. Their cost is high but would be worth the money if their prestige was raised. The portfolio submission process should be stressed and made a bigger part of their entrance requirement. Their NASAD / HLC accreditation's needs to be continued, it's one of the main reasons I attended. Online teachers are too easy.They are better than the AI's (Art Institutes) from what I know. Some of their adjunct professors are really knowledgeable and challenged me to perform better but I'd rate 80% of classes as too easy, with professors just pushing students through.I'd love to see RMCAD regain the prestige it had in the past as the premier institution it was. Not sure that's possible with financial concerns they have to deal with. Maybe drop some classes and retain only highest caliber professors that way.
