Review of Rocky Mountain College - Colorado

from Littleton, CO

Describe your college in three sentences.

It is a smaller college with lots of one on one teaching. They have dedicated teachers who are working artists and designers. The curriculum is up to date with today's technology and industries.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

When looking for a college don't discount the highly accredited art schools like RMCAD there are plenty of financial options out there to make going to school here doable. RMCAD offers a hybrid program which allows you to take some of your classes on-line and lowers tuition. This college has been around for a long time and is highly recognized by people in the industry, which is an important factor after you graduate.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

RMCAD's learning environment promotes an in-depth learning process where students are actively involved. Smaller class sizes add to this experience. They offer year round classes where it is possible to complete your BFA in 3 years.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

There is the Underground Cafe right on campus which is a great place to get a bit to eat, as well as lots of fast food places around the campus. In the summer time the court yard has perfectly manicured grass and makes for great place to eat and relax.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

They offer degree programs for every form of art. I am already employed in my field part-time and everyone I work with in the Design Department went to the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design. They also offer career coaching free of charge and on-line classes for flexibility for those with work schedules or who like to study on their own time.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This campus environment is great for those students who like a more intimate style of teaching and who would get lost in a larger campus setting. RMCAD has a great choice of programs for students interested in all fields of art and design. The historic buildings add to the colleges appeal.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

The campus is very safe. The campus and parking lot is patrolled and I have never had an issue.
