Top Art Schools, including The American Academy of Art, consistently rank highest in national surveys. These rankings really are a reflection of the quality of education as expressed through feedback from students, employers, and experts who track the nation’s Photography Schools and other arts-related institutions. While other variables besides rankings should be considered by prospective students, peer and expert recommendations do help to weed out the companies that tend to pop up and offer quick, inexpensive art diplomas without offering a quality education.
