Learning at the Academy of Art University

Students are able to study throughout a flexible daily schedule, with both weekend and evening courses available at the San Francisco campus.

Obviously, students who choose to complete their studies online will have no time restrictions, and will therefore be able to work their schedule around existing commitments. The technology available to students and the sophistication of technology which has been used is almost unparalleled. This means that students have the best opportunity to learn, given the current modern electronic environment.

Online Courses from Academy of Art University

One of the specialty features of the Academy of Art University is that students are able to study online - where and when they want to. The online education system is an advanced one, allowing students to login and receive course material electronically.

This results in the following efficiencies for students:

• No need to live in the area whilst studying.
• Able to study at their own pace, and at the time which they choose.
• No travelling costs or additional accommodation costs.
• Advanced and sophisticated online education management system.

Online students still have all of the benefits of the large support network that land based or campus based students get. In fact, a dedicated team of working artists is available to assist online students with their studies.

As the Academy of Art University puts it themselves, you'll get what you need to succeed with the online and campus based degrees - in whichever form you choose to receive it.
