You Get Out What You Put in.

CCS really pushes your limits when it comes to innovative/creative thinking. If you put the effort into your work, you will get good results and the teachers I have had have always been very helpful along the process. CCS is a bit different from other art and design school because it has two big majors that aren't offered at other schools: product design and transportation design. Because of this, each student gets a small taste for these fields during foundations. I found it really helpful and it even informed some of my graphic design work. Additionally, because students are diverse in these areas and other majors, getting an opinion on your work from a product design major or transportation design major is always helpful because they do tend to think in a different manner.

Also, I love the flexibility in classes. Just because I am a graphic design major does not mean I can't take woodworking, metal shop, or a photography class. You CAN, and all of your other classes help feed your ideas for your major. The more diverse your art and design practices are, the more innovative you can become with your work. That is what I love most about CCS.

Uniqueness

This school is very credible art school. One of the best they are rated in the world. Great school for many things but mostly the department of Industrial Design and even more specifically, for transportation and automotive design. This is Detroit and it is importatnt to have a great school still remain in the city and especially for automotive related. In Times magazine and the New York Times magazine in 2008, was CCS rated the 2nd hardest in work load from Harvard. The faculty and staff works hard to push their students and the students do the same in being the best. This proves CCS is a credible school by the results in students getting good internships and jobs during and after school.
