A quarter of a century ago, the Art Institute of California-San Diego was founded in order to address a deficiency in the educational system: college graduates with degrees in art, design, and advertising had heads full of academic theory, but they had no idea how to apply those theories in the workplace. It became the institute’s mission to bridge that gap between academia and the real world by teaching students to transform their creative abilities into practical, profitable, and most importantly, rewarding careers.
Over the years, the Art Institute of California-San Diego has evolved with the technological advancement of the industry. Today, institute students enjoy the amenities of a 76,000 square-foot campus in Mission Valley. There are computer labs, exhibition galleries, a library, a restaurant run by the culinary students, and the all-important student lounge: art and design students love sharing ideas over a coffee or three. And the labs are replete with cutting-edge equipment: Windows and Mac PC’s, digital camcorders, scanners, printers, and career-specific design and animation software—they have it all. Plus, there are fully-outfitted kitchens for those education in the culinary arts. By the time you enter your first job, employers may be asking you about the latest industry trends!
And if you want evidence of the Art Institute’s success, just take a look at recent headlines. For instance, students from the California-San Diego campus took Best of Show, 3 gold, 4 silver, and 4 bronze medals at the San Diego Advertising Club’s 2005 Creative Show Awards.
