Admissions Philosophy
Our open admissions policy is rare among art schools. Weve found that our students potential doesnt depend on their past elsewhere, but on their future with us. How to Apply: Go to the Admissions section in the back of this book for basic admissions requirements, instructions and applications. You may also call us at 800.544.2787 (within U.S. only) or 415.274.2200, or apply online at www.academyart.edu.
Home-schooled Students
We welcome and encourage home-schooled students to enroll in our degree and non-degree programs. The Academy of Art University open door admissions policy equally applies to home school students who participate in a program officially recognized by the state in which they live.
Transfer Students
Our Admissions Office makes transfer of credit as simple and easy as possible. If you have completed previous college-level coursework, we welcome you to submit your official transcripts for review for possible credit.
(NASAD), which is located at 11250 Roger Bacon Drive, Suite 21, Reston, Virginia, 20190, (703) 437-0700, to offer degrees of Associate of Art, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Master of Fine Arts, and Certificates. The BFA Interior Architecture & Design program is accredited by The Council for Interior Design Accreditation (formerly FIDER) as a Council for Interior Design Accreditation Accredited Professional Level Program. The Master of Architecture Program is also accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). The Academy is also an institutional member of the Career College Association (CCA). NAAB Accreditation In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is the sole agency authorized to accredit U.S. professional degree programs in architecture, recognizes three types of degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture, and the Doctor of Architecture. A program may be granted a 6-year, 3-year, or 2-year term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards. Doctor of Architecture and Master of Architecture degree programs may consist of a pre-professional undergraduate degree and a professional graduate degree that, when earned sequentially, constitute an accredited professional education. However, the preprofessional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree. The Academy of Art University, Department of Architecture offers the following NAAB-accredited programs: M.Arch.(pre-professional degree + 63 graduate credits) M.Arch.(non-pre-professional degree + 87 graduate credits) Next accreditation visit for all programs: 2010 For more information and full statement of accreditation for online programs, please see the accompanying CD or go to www.academyart.edu.
17
Undergraduate Admissions
The Academy of Art University maintains a no-barrier admissions policy for all undergraduate programs.* Previous experience with art and design is not required for admission, and students of all skill levels are encouraged to apply. It is our belief that all students willing to make the appropriate commitment have the ability to learn professional-level skills.

career Paths
Did you know?

The Academy of Art University features three non-profit, professionally run galleries in downtown San Francisco, dedicated to fine exhibiting artworks by students, faculty, alumni and worldrenowned artists. Over the years the Academy of Art University galleries have afforded our students countless opportunities: from teaching the intricacies of the installation process to providing exposure to the art buying community and, of course, facilitating sales! Each year, the most expansive exhibition space, 79 Gallery, hosts the Faculty and Alumni Fine Art and Photography Auctions. These enormously popular events include works from both emerging and established artists, attracting the attention of elite art collectors throughout the country. Half of the proceeds of all auction sales benefit the Student Scholarship Fund with the remainder going directly to the artists themselves.

Four students from instructor Michael Osbornes Graphic Design class walked away with awards from the 2009 FUSE Design & Culture, Brand Identity & Packaging Conference. The students Charles Malonzo, Irene Tjahja, Monica Dannehl, and ying-Ching Chen were awarded free passes to attend next years FUSE conference (an approximate $3,900 value for each ticket). The students also had their portfolios displayed on the Institute for International Research, a leading conference company behind the production of the FUSE conference. The students presented their branding strategy, design, and packaging for Targets proposed new line of stores. The new stores, named Aero by Osbornes students, are to resemble a cross between williams-Sonoma and Crate & Barrel. Their presentation was a huge success! Carl Bender, recent Academy of Art University graduate with an MFA in Graphic Design, won double at the AIGA San Francisco Portfolio Day held in May 2009. not only was Carl awarded

the $500 scholarship prize for the top portfolio from the Academy of Art University, but he also won the first Rick Tharp Scholarship. The scholarship is named after the influential and innovative graphic designer, Rick Tharp, who passed away in 2005. Academy students dominated the 2009 AIGA Cause/Effect Awards. Our students were winners in both the professional and student categories including a Judges Choice award.
MFA alumnus Dave Gottwald is currently working on the Oakland Museum of Californias massive history gallery reinstallation, titled Coming to California. As a full-time graphic designer on the project, set to debut in April 2010, his responsibilities include everything from typography and map illustration, to exhibit set and prop design, to interactive elements and digital media projections. R3 is an ongoing project that encourages graphic design students to think beyond the traditional process in order to innovate. Led by instructor Tom Sieu, these projects have won national acclaim.

Did you know?
Students in the senior product design class have a shot at designing products for the 2012 Olympics thanks to an innovative collaboration with nike. nike asked students to design products for two new sports that will be added for the 2012 Olympic Games Ultra Marathon Trail Running and Ultra Mountain Bike Racing. The products were to be designed to be worn by the athletes during the event and to ensure that their hydration and nutrition needs were met. The intense demands on the athletes require products that are uniquely tailored to the task. As part of the class project, students researched the events, and they contacted potential Olympics participants, one of whom visited the class to answer students questions. nike will review the final designs and, if one looks like a winner, it will be developed for possible use in the 2012 Olympic Games.

San Francisco boasts active chapters of International Interior Designer Association (IIDA), American Society for Interior Designers (ASID), Hospitality Industry Association (HIA), and others who work with Academy student chapters. The school joins with these groups for portfolio evaluations done in professional offices, by professionals. The School of Interior Architecture & Design offers wonderful opportunities for our students to go to Chicago for neoCon, to Las Vegas for Hospitality Design Expo, and to Europe to study in programs such as our Summer in Italy. Interior Architecture & Design is connected to many of the most famous designers and firms in the United States. we interact with this community through our faculty, tours, internships, and many activities. Academy students are frequent winners at the IIDA Annual Awards Ceremony. In 2009, an Annual Award Scholarship was presented to Tanvi Shah for her design of Spice Village a mixeduse development in San Francisco. At IIDA 2008, an Honor Scholarship was awarded to Howie Litdang for Bamboo, an energyefficient light fixture, and a notable Award was given to the design team for Studio O+a in San Francisco (the beauty salon at the w hotel), which consisted of IAD student Denise Cherry and two others. Recently, Woodwork Magazine Quarterly published eight Academy student projects. And students, faculty, and alums have been featured in major magazines such as: Elle Dcor, California Home + Design, 7x7 Magazine, Nob Hill Gazette, SFDC Magazine, 3D Magazine from the Design District, Sunset Magazine, Kitchen and Bath, and more. Recently, Architectural Digest published a project by alum April Powers, Director of Interior Design at Backen and Gillam Architects.

Did you know?

MFA student Ollie Mamarils music is playing in a commercial shown all over the East Coast. Ollie found out about the opportunity to compose a score for two Modells Sporting Goods commercials through his friend Angelo Valencia at white House Post, a production company in Los Angeles. Ollie, who had been playing guitar in band for over ten years, jumped at the opportunity. Using techniques he learned in class, Ollie composed a score using only his MacBook and guitar. Though Modells Sporting Goods was initially considering using a score composed by an established large music house, they felt that Ollies was a better fit. now, viewers have the opportunity to hear Ollies soaring score as the backdrop to an inspirational commercial featuring soccer team DC Uniteds Bobby Boswell.

Did you know?

In november 2008, the Academy of Art University was the host site for the regional conference of the Society of Photographic Education. The conference featured presentations, screening, exhibitions, and workshops and over 300 photography educators and professionals were in attendance. The keynote speaker was Alec Soth, an acclaimed photographer featured in major collections, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston and the walker Art Center in Minneapolis. Photography student work is featured in the Academys three professionally run galleries, all located in the heart of San Francisco. The School of Photography offers a unique class in the summer called The Photo Intensive. The course features a gallery exhibition of the work created by the students, which has its own opening reception every year. The department has traditional black & white mural printing facilities. There is a 20 x 30 UV exposure unit for contact printing hand coated emulsions, such as Van Dyke Brown, Cyanotype, Gum Bichromate, and Platinum Palladium.

Did you know?

The School of web Design & new Media offers over 360 Macintosh computers in its classrooms and labs, all using the most up-to-date network and server systems. For six years in a row, MFA students have consistently placed in the top three spots at SIGGRAPH. MFA Alum Julie Huang won first place in the Space Time Interactive Competition at SIGGRAPH with her graduate thesis, called EMO. Her project was also recognized as an Official Honoree by the judges of the 13th Annual webby Awards. Via their cell phone, users capture their current mood and location at any moment in time. Over time, users see how their emotions change at different ages and they can compare them with other users in a visual way. Today, Julie is a web designer at Livescribe, makers of the Pulse Smart Pen. The School of web Design & new Media has many successful alums, including Kaiyi wong 08 who is the Lead Flash Developer for The Visionaire Group. Kaiyi has been involved with several movie sites like the summer blockbuster X-Men Origins: Wolverine, as well as the creation of social media and mobile projects, such as a Facebook application for the critically-acclaimed indie film 500 Days of Summer. One of Kaiyis recent projects was with Universal Pictures to design and execute a powerful campaign for the fourth installment in the Fast & Furious movie franchise. web Design & new Media offers students experience that simulates the collaborative environment in the industry, pitching for accounts to develop the interactive or redesign for an actual client. Graduate students have worked on a special project with the J. David Gladstone Institute, one of the worlds leaders in stem cell research. The Director of the institute, Dr. Deepak Srivastiva, designated the head of Cardiovascular Research to be our client for a final class assignment. In Spring 2009, graduate students worked on a project for The Museum of African Diaspora. As part of a final class project, students delivered prototypes that demonstrated a unique and inventive approach that suited the museums goals.

web Design & new Media offers a collaborative project course called Contribute X. This class was inspired by the events at the 2009 Compostmodern event and is driven by student initiative. The goal of this unique course is to design and produce a comprehensive integrated project having social or environmental merit. web Design & new Media participated in The Urban Forest Project with Sustaining San Francisco in Summer 2009. As a department, students and faculty were able to deliver not only print designs for the posters but also web designs and motion graphics for this very engaging project. Our Relationship with Adobe The School of web Design & new Media played an important role in the creation of the original Partners by Design Program with Adobe. Each year, the school promotes and participates in the international Adobe Design Achievement Awards. In October 2009, Bob Rigel, Director of Undergraduate web Design & new Media, presented at the annual Partners by Design meeting in Los Angeles. In 2009, two Academy undergrad students reached the Semifinalist round in the ADAA competition. Tiago Cabaco placed with his digital photography experiment of spoons reflecting patterned surfaces; Fang-yun Shih placed with her motion graphics piece promoting new Media. Last year, undergrad web Design & new Media students represented the Academy with five Semifinalist Awards. Lee Chakov placed in both Print Design and Live Action digital video, Matthew Zeghibe in Print Communications, Daisuke Sakurai in web Design, and Henry Kitchen in Photography.

Thats the story.

Its a story in pictures and a few words that tells of creativity, imagination, and people, just like you, on their way to the top. The new professionals who have created this story for you love going to work where they spend their days turning ideas into selling communications. Filling the world with beauty that never existed before. Looking at things like theyve never been seen before. Telling stories like theyve never been told before. Theyre working art and design professionals who have jobs so rewarding that its almost embarrassing for them to take money for what they love and do so well. If these words and pictures have fanned the spark of creativity in you, find areas that really interest you. Then, do something about it. It could be the beginning of another story, your story. You know, the one that makes history.
To all the students, faculty and alumni whose artwork and words appear in this catalog. Your talent is an inspiration and we appreciate you being a part of the Academy family.
