Academy of Art University is proud to be an art school molding its students to become creative problem-solvers, no matter how unique the challenge is. To do this, we ourselves first had to embrace innovative ways to enhance our own teaching methods.
In a matter of weeks, the world as we know it has turned upside-down. From major public events to intimate social gatherings, nothing is spared by the community quarantine measures enacted by the government to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Academy of Art University is but one of the many institutions who swiftly responded to address the issue by locking down our San Francisco campus and moving the classes online. It may seem like such a drastic shift in learning environments, but the truth is that it was a transition which required no fanfare on our part because it was an environment already set up and functioning in place.
Our online education program, established in 2002, allows our students and faculty to carry on as normal in their classes, albeit with certain modifications. Make no mistake, our online courses are designed to be just as rigorous and comprehensive as those taken on campus. It will require just as much effort and commitment to make the grade.
To put it simply, our students haven’t missed a beat. With our tried and tested online education program, we are confident that we will continue to provide the same quality of learning to our students, even in these uniquely trying times. It’s a challenge that puts a lot of systems to the test, but it’s a challenge that we’ve long been prepared for.
