Academy of Art University Reviews

As a new student at academy of art university pursuing art education, going online all the way. All class were necessary and satisfying. They pursed and teaches what's necessary for your major. The teachers are understanding and course are easy to follow up.
It's been a balance between exciting and unpleasant. I am very grateful to be enrolled in a new institution where I can continue my path as a professional artist and animator. However, for a first semester, one of the courses was a let down. Whenever I left the class, it felt like I hadn't learned anything. As a fully online student, during lecture, I felt disengaged with the rest of the class. The semester was also stressful because several financial and academic changes hit unexpectedly and I was ready to tear my hair out! I have hopes my next term will be better, but boy did I have a difficult time.
The entire experience from day one has been too notch. From the addmissions counselor to the academic advisor. Signing up was so fun !
I came into college all on my own, knowing next to nothing. My advisors were so kind to me from the very begginging when i applied to this school. They helped me understand the finances and their systems. They still continue to help me today when I have any questions or financial issues!
My Student Advisors are very attentive and supportive. Student Resources are easily accessible and provide useful information/advice.
AAU is great at getting you into the school however, it's not very good with communication once you are in there. The cost of tuition is extremely high and they drag out the program so that it takes five years to graduate.
Great ways to communicate with professors and anybody who can help you. Also, their online system is great for those who study online
I feel like I have grown greatly as an artist taking these courses and the professors have provided so many different methods on completing a task as well as ideas on what to illustrate. The school also provides opportunities to meet professionals in the field and even classes on how to be successful in the field.
Personally, I'm loving being a student at AAU!
I am a full time student taking classes entirely online, which has been a life saver for me. With my remote location and anxiety struggles, there's no way I would have been able to attend any school in person, and Academy of Art is one of the very few colleges that offer an art degree online. This alone was a huge selling point for me when deciding what I wanted to do with me future.
I knew I needed an "in between" step from graduating highschool to entering into the industry, and taking classes here has accomplished that 100%--the classes are accessible for complete beginners in the field, and the pacing of each week is just enough to push you without breaking you. I've had only great interactions with the instructors, and they have been a vital part in improving my drawing skills. The homework usually gives us a ton of creative freedom.

The online courses are extremely easy to navigate and professors push for interaction. Since im s full online student i still feel motivated thanks to courses given by the school, my peers, and my professors. The one thing that i will say is, this school is extremely expensive, without a good amount of funds before hand it'll become a struggle to pay your dues.
Great school with professors with real world experience. I think if you're looking for a school that will teach you what it truly means to be an artist then this is the school for you.
I like that I can work on my own schedule, most of the teachers are very good at giving feedback and provide and give support when you ask for it. I’m happy being part of so many talented educators that have the professional background and knowledge for us to ask them what to expect. They also have a great after school activities and fabulous guests speakers.
although I would still like to pursue my education here. the staff makes it easy to access your classes. they offer many academic coaching guidance and make communicating through the screen a breeze.
I was a pre-college student here and have taken 3 of their pre-college classes. These classes were all online. The professors were nothing but helpful and gave amazing feedback. The class was flexible and easy for a high school student to take. It was overall a good experience and I would recommend, plus its free!
super good school, professors overall are super helpful, responsive, and understanding, school online portal is set up perfectly
When I had to go online for school, I had to find an accredited architecture program that worked with my schedule as a new mom. Academy of Art was an easy choice. The curriculum schedule is flexible, while also maintaining prestigious standards.
Academy of art university is an amazing school! I love the on-site classes but the online classes don’t have the same experience. I commute and I would love for the school to be more accessible to commuters.
Very easy, noting too complicated, overall one the best art schools I went to. I highly recommand it.
Although I've been online, the professors have been really helpful and understanding about the assignments and topics of the lessons.
The Academy of Art University, is by far one of the best institutions I have had the pleasure of attending. I am currently enrolled to achieve my BA degree in Art history. It has been a phenomenally rewarding experience to say the least. Each class leaves you feeling fuller and more assure of yourself than the last. There is so much knowledge and information to be gained at this university. The staff and leading administrative team are very kind and helpful. The advisers that you are assigned to are truly there for you. All needs and questions are met and handled swiftly. I have had the most positive experiences being an online student getting to connect with so many other art majors from around the world. I have even made a few new friends. AAU is a great place to network and build community, which is very important as we all will be supporting each others art and/or artistic endeavors. I highly recommend enrolling into this school if you are full of passion to conquer your dreams.
