Exactly what I was going to say. You'd think the list would be: 1. longer (whether or not we'd know any of them aside) 2. contain at least one well-known name.
Admittedly- I attended the Academy for a couple semesters a few years back. And I am only well-known in my small circle. ;o)

The Academy is a property management company masquerading as a school.

Look, I know there is no such thing as a stupid question, but if you are at all active in the worlds of creative enterprise — fashion, fine art, graphic design, illustration, etc., etc. — you know Academy of Art graduates, whether you're aware of it or not. I work with the Academy now, but before I ever did, I knew dozens, all highly accomplished & successful. To learn about just a few of them, visit http://newsfeed.academyart.edu/.

I'm guessing the person asking wanted to know if there were anyone notable that (s)he might know even if not "in the know" of the person's given industry.

Trying to help my son select the best school to get his graphic design bachelor of arts degree. He has narrowed the field to Academy of Arts University and Art Institute of California at San Francisco. which do you think is best and why? Maybe there is even a third choice to consider. Would like to hear ideas from you.
