Watkins College of Art

I came here for the first time on Saturday to audition for casting Day here it was a very fun experience I love the building walking in the environment, the lady sitting at the front desk wasn’t to kind when I asked questions, plus I got my sunglasses stolen from inside my purse when I left it on the chair to go to the bathroom I had to re purchase them but other than that I did have a good time here

I am a recent graduate and loved my experience at Watkins. Does it it have it faults? Yes but what school doesn't. The teaching staff here are amazing and are so invested in you as a student. I have had teachers come in after class and office hours to help me if I was having trouble with a project. This is a fine art based photography school and photography is what I studied. Knowing this going in is really important as I am a commercial based photographer and not fine art. While it wasn't exactly what I expected I still learned a lot that has helped me in my own photography business. Being an artist about being a hard working an driven student. You don't become a good artist overnight and it is something that is not easy. If you are willing to put in the time and the effort to not only learn but also to put yourself out there you will greatly reap the benefits of this school. Watkins is a great place to be yourself and learn how to be a better artist. I highly recommend it!

Great school. Industry professionals teach graphic design classes and have incredible connections to many other local and national design professionals. Graphic Design program offers opportunities to meet and learn from prominent designers who are nationally recognized with the visiting artist series. It has been hard work but the job placement statistics show that they know what it takes to send you into the design field prepared.

As a parent of a Watkins College of Art, Design & Film student, it's my opinion that you could not select a finer college for your aspiring artist, designer or film studies student. The fine & extremely knowledgeable professor staff have both inspired & taught very effectively. Likewise, the seriousness of the treatment of art studies is notable from observing the student's work & work ethic. Similarly, general education studies are taught by inspired teachers who know what they're doing. As a sophomore at Watkins, I'd say my daughter is on the equivalent level of a senior at any supposedly competitive institution. I'm very impressed with every aspect of Watkins. And it's not only the successfully trained student and increasingly improved skills and performance we notice, it's the positive feedback that we routinely hear about engaging each student in processes and the professionalism of every class. No exceptions. I would wholeheartedly recommend Watkins College of Art, Design & Film for anyone seriously interested in any of these mediums. Very impressive experience.

I love Watkins and have had a great experience so far. The classes are smaller; allowing students to have one on one feed back from their professors. Most of our professors are working artists and it's quite inspiring to see their work.
