- Although most students enroll with us for the complete eight semester (4 academic years) course of study, they also enroll transfers from other colleges and universities.

- They are working with several 2-year community colleges in PA and have developed 2+2 agreements. This agreement allows students to complete the first 2 years of study at the community college, a low cost institution with many support classes for students who may need additional academic preparation, or in the case of international students, additional English language practice and support in adjusting to US educational systems and culture. Once the Associate degree is completed we will accept these students directly into our professional visual arts programs at the upper level. This allows a student to complete the additional Bachelor degree requirements in four semesters (2 academic years) and have top notch professional preparation for careers in graphic design, illustration, photography, or digital media. Our college is also moderately priced. For
comparison, our tuition, currently $10,250 per semester, is approximately half the cost of UArts or Drexel or F&M or just about any private college in their region and possibly the country.

- They are a small college of art and although they do not have an international student population, they have been collaborating with colleges in other countries and have soem international faculty.
