The SF Art Academy is a for-profit school. Just check their legal institutional standing. What would you expect if not a quest for profit?

At least SF Art Academy is open about being run for profit. There appear to be numerous other institutions of higher education that claim to be non profit yet hand out degrees especially MFAs to anyone with the cash and half a brain.

Just look at the portfolio postings and you can figure out at least one of these Scams.

Also what does anyone think about a school that allows its undergrads to form a student design conference, yet mandates its graduate students to conform to concepts presented?

At the same time creating group identity among graduate students so as to discourage program dropouts and increase profit margins. All the while stating that if one leaves the program they are bad, because they are obviously bad at teamwork.

While the end result of the program is far from extrodinary and can produce no placement records.

Anyone know this SCAM?????????

Lawsuits are fun 2!

Especially against schools that dont have graduate programs but pretend while building off their undergraduate programs success.

Where grades are a political illusion and meaningless in reality and whose main mission is to f*ckk domestic students while they lavishly extend scholarships, co-ops and employment on Internationational students.

Particularly when its an instistution that has a history of public deception associated with the CIA. And has major corporate benefactors that openly deceive consumers.

All in all a prime example of design at its best in the US.

Its all fun and games in the "greatest city in the world"

When will the deception end!

Socially conciense & environmentaly conciense designers please show the world some truth. If you comprehend that in your postmodern paradigm.

can anyone name this institution of Higher "Indoctrination"?

These rumors about the Academy of Art explain now how this woman from my school was able to get a gig teaching Alias there. She had no talent whatsoever and she only made it through school because she was the teacher's pet...to say the least.
