Art Institute of Atlanta

I was an Atlanta College of Art student until ****ing SCAD bought our school. I finished my BFA in computer animation at SCAD Atlanta this past week, and I have to say, now that they have the best professors from ACA, they really are a decent school.

Honestly, and I know this from experience, potential employers could give half a **** about where your degree came from if your portfolio or demo reel is top notch.

Believe me, I know plenty of Ringling students waiting tables. They've got NASAD.

Funny, cause all the employers I have met care about accreditation. I guess it depends on the job you want. I am in Advertising/PR/Marketing so it makes more sense for that field, I guess, rather than a graphic designer or a painter or illustrator.....? To me those things are based more on having that eye or natural artistic talent. BUT If you are a crap employee/designer/whatever then you are a crap employee/designer/whatever, that's obvious; then accreditation or not doesn't matter. TRUST that when it comes to a boss having 100 resumes to look through, the school matters...... no matter what you say. If your school sucks and everyone knows it, you may not ever get to show your portfolio. Or if your school isn't accredited and the other 99 resumes went to schools that are, they might just toss your resume in the trash before you get to show your portfolio. It's a weeding process. Also, for some larger corporate companies it's required as part of their policy to hire people from accredited schools.

I wonder what the students of Clayton County have to say about accreditation LOL. Not funny, but still a point to be made. That will be a scar for them for a while.
