Program Philosophy:
The best way to learn about something is to do it. Therefore, our classes often mirror what you will find on the job. At The Art Institute of Tampa, your education is relevant, practical, and hands-on. Class sizes are kept small enough to allow for individual attention, and academic advisors work with students one-on-one to help them stay on track.

The Art Institute of Tampa students don't just learn about the visual arts. They design rooms, go on photo shoots, create ad campaigns, and develop computer animation. Our programs are designed to not only help you develop your creativity, but to make you marketable to employers when you graduate.
