Cranbrook Academy of Art Summary

Cranbrook is a unique school in the fact that there are no grades. It is a pass/fail program. The reason this works is it is heavily based on studio practice. Each department has their own schedule for critiques in which students show their work and we discuss how successful it is. We have visiting artists that come in for each department which makes a very good lecture series. We are encouraged to get involved in other departments and take electives.

There is not a place for Grad students to work out on campus, unless you go to the pool and swim laps and even then it is at a specific time. We have a forum gallery which is great and an area to hang out in. Our school is very small so we don't need much, but it would be nice to be able to use the athletic facilities.

There are plenty of computers for the student body. The lab is equipped with all different types of printers and scanners. There are also work stations for video.
