About Art Center College of Design

ArtCenter’s reputation is built on the intensity of its degree programs, all of which depend upon the rigor and focus necessary to prepare students for professional excellence and leadership. This approach has been and will continue to be a central defining characteristic of an ArtCenter education. “Conservatory” (a term typically reserved for training in the performing arts but wholly applicable to this College) means for us the offering of a dedicated place for talented students to grow and thrive, an intense and practical career preparation under the guidance of an expert and professional faculty, a curriculum of project-based learning, and a focus on social and environmental challenges that provide a depth of purpose to our educational offerings.
