The Art Institutes
Students at the Art Institutes start off with a core curriculum that focuses on developing the critical faculties needed to learn more difficult concepts. From there, they can unleash their creative streak on a variety of design careers at the Austin campus.
That can include developing media for advertising agencies as part of a four-year program, shorter courses in media arts or digital design, as well as a variety of fashion courses leading to a degree in fashion and retail management. Students have the option of taking foreign exchange trips in between courses to several cultural meccas in Europe and Asia.
