Reviews

In the graphic arts program I learned everything to help start me in the creative path. Then I graduated. Then I got a job without the stress of thinking I'd be unemployed for several months. I am very happy with what the institute offered & the motivation they instilled in me before I went out into the full-time world ;]

I loved my time at the Hite earning my Bachelors of Fine Arts Degree, Class of 2007. I made many friends there, all who shared my common love and commitment to the arts. I was a graphic design major and worked under professors Leslie Friesen, Steve Skaggs and Ying Kit Chan. You couldn't ask for more professional, dedicated and fun people to teach you the skills you need for your future. If you're wavering on whether or not to join the Communication Arts & Design program, take it from me, you will have a blast using your inner creativity to create 2-D and 3-D masterpieces. Overall, I was a very happy camper at the Hite, spending my days in the classrooms, studying in the peaceful Bridwell Art Library or hanging out in the legendary "Think Tank." (You have to go to know!) Please consider an art career and walk the halls of the Hite yourself.
