We offer professional faculty who are from the industry, so they know what is needed to be competitive in the market and they bring that knowledge into the classroom. Our schools are designed with the creative student in mind, and we continually keep our eye on the industry and on emerging technology.

During your time as a student, you’ll build a portfolio of work that is ready to show potential employers. But, our relationship with you doesn’t end as soon as you graduate. We also help our alumni as they change jobs and look for more challenging positions. And, we have all the resources of The Art Institutes behind us, meaning we can look to over 175,000 alumni and over 40 schools for social and professional contacts.


Most importantly, we know that this is an important time in your life. We’re here to help you through it, with financial aid available to those who qualify, academic advising, career counseling, and a creative community prepared to assist you in reaching your goals.


On behalf of the faculty and staff of The Art Institute of California, San Diego, I want you to know that we are excited by your potential and enthusiasm for your art. By choosing what you love to do – by following your passion – you cannot go wrong. We are committed to helping you chart the right education course for you and to help you get on the road to success.

Sincerely,
Elizabeth Erickson
President
The Art Institute of California, San Diego
