I got my bachelors degree here. And I really believe the art institute gives a superior education the teachers for the most part are wonderful instructors. Art institute required their instructors to have masters degrees or I believe they pay their instructors to continue on to obtain the masters degree. For the most part I felt I got a better education then I would have at UNLV or a community college.
It is really expensive and the job placement after college is a farce. Career services tries but it's a joke because there really isn't much out there for jobs right now anyhow. If you come into the school don't count on getting a ton of help after college in finding a job, they kind of bamboozled many students into feeling more secure then they where post graduation. Considering this tuition there is entirely too much, you're paying around 90 or so dollars per hour of class if you break it down. A degree in design could be considered optional anyhow so my advice if you can't afford the tuition this isn't the college for you.
But the school is really improving every year. The comment below about the credits is true....because Ai is a private college it's not accredited so transferring is very difficult. Some credits will transfer- it just depends on the school you transfer to and what their willing to accept. Wonderful school otherwise and amazing instructors and state of the art computer, video/ audio labs.
