Anyone doing this? I have respect for Academy of Art in San Fransisco, I was planning to go there a decade ago when I got out of my Air Force enlistment. Couldn't get enough financial aid at the time so I hopped between a couple of lame schools in Chicago
Anyway, I'm going back to school to finish my Bachelor's. Since I've got a wife, kid, a mortgage and a half-assed career in interactive media, I have very few options in my immediate area. I enrolled in an online Game Art curriculum at Art Institute Online. After one quarter (5.5 weeks) I have concluded that I have done nothing accept waste time and money with that place. I looked into other options, and behold Academy of Art offers BFA programs completely online
I'm really excited about this...it's like getting a second chance in a way. I know it won't be as cool as actually walking into a classroom, but this is the next best thing so far. I've applied for the Animation BFA with Visual Development concentration. That is exactly the type of curriculum I've wanted to study - the next best thing to Art Center's Entertainment Design program from what it looks like
It looks really well thought out, I like the idea of the live in-classroom videochat format. I thought that's what AI was set up for, but that was a complete let down
Is there anyone that has done the AASF's online program? Any opinions with some insight? Thanks.
