This is a small school, with all classes in the building on Michigan Avenue. Great location and great teachers. The curriculum is designed with future employment in mind, unlike art programs at many colleges and universities.

Honestly, everything here seems to have order. :) as for the commentor who says the school just wants money, that's bull, you were most likely some dumb a** kid who didn't take college seriously so now your pissed because you have to pay all those loans off. This is definitely a college to check out! :D every one is very caring. Cant wait to start!
