About Academia
As a medium-sized institution, we’re able to offer our students the best of both worlds. Unlike a larger institution, you’ll receive levels of one-on-one attention and support that wouldn’t be possible with a larger student body.
At the same time, we’re also better-resourced than a smaller institution. We have larger workshops, and are able to attract high-quality instructors who bring with them years of experience not just teaching, but in their industry as well.
