<p>I'm just wondering if any one has any personal experiences/opinions on the different Photography Programs offered at the Bay Area art schools, as its hard to tell from their own websites/handbooks... I am interested in pursuing a career in Advertising/Illustrative Phototgraphy. I already have a BA, so the second degree program at the Academy of Art University, as well as the pretty open admission policy, is seeming pretty attractive to me, but I've heard mixed reviews about the quality of the program. I have heard good things about both SFAI and CCA but am a little intimidated by the admissions and cost. Any insights would be greatly appreciated! I am very serious about pursuing a career in photography and want to make the best decision... Thanks!</p>
<p>Anyone??????????</p>
<p>Careers in the arts require a lot of self-promotion. I can understand your being intimidated by the cost, but you should not be intimidated by the admission proccess assuming you have a portfolio.</p>
