Get to know
Academy of Art University, San Francisco

Academy of Art University is an art and design school in San Francisco, California, and it is one of the larger private art schools in the United States. Study here is built around studio practice, so courses in animation, game development, fashion, industrial design, photography and architecture are taught alongside portfolio work rather than after it.

The campus is spread across buildings in downtown San Francisco instead of a single enclosed site, which puts students close to the city's studios and agencies. International students can apply for undergraduate and graduate admission, and the school runs online versions of many of its degrees for those who cannot relocate.
