| In
the Graphic Design Program, this is the only program I
can speak of, the faculty pick favorites. Everyone at CCA
does quality work, so in the end they just judge
you based on whatever they feel like. Even though I
am 25, I have been treated like a child, and
with little respect by the faculty. The program sets
you up with deadlines and small projects, and than in
the end they throw a curve ball at you, called
Thesis. In Thesis, you have to come up with your
own project, even though nothing before this has prepared you
for this kind of class. Talk about intimidating, you sit
in front of a huge staff of graphic designers and
they tell you how your work stinks if you aren't
one of their beloved favorites! On the more positive side,
I would say that the faculty are very knowledgeable and
even though they may not express their want for their
students to do well, they try, but are elitist and
too focused on how you do your work rather than
what you produce. This is not the program to be
in if you are not 100% sure you want to
do graphic design. The teachers really have little if no
respect for many of the students, but the students certainly
produce beautiful work. What I liked about CCA was the
great challenge and its conceptual nature. What I didn't like
about it was its elitism, favoritism, and pretentiousness. Every idea
should be given a fair chance. Design shouldn't be elitist!
