My education at COA was exactly what I needed to help prepare me for my career. I was not just one of many students who had gone through a cookie cutter program. I came out more focused on my passions. COA made me more ME.
COA gave me four years to explore who I was and where I wanted to go in life. Every other college I looked at wanted me to pick a category and fit myself into it. COA was where I could mix and match my studies in a way that most benefited me. Unique classes, extra time with professors, and the push to think more individually with the help of engaged and invested mentors blended together to give me the skills and desire to follow my dreams of being a cartoonist. I truly believe I wouldn’t be where I am if it weren’t for COA.
