FAQs

Can I take just the trade classes?

The curriculum at ACBA has specialized academic and artistic objectives. In exceptional cases, and upon the recommendation of the faculty, applicants to become matriculating students who are deemed to have a satisfactory record of experience and education may be admitted to courses for one term at a time (space permitting) and must be readmitted at the beginning of each subsequent term. Students in this category may take courses from the General Education, Craft Specialization Support, and Elective areas, but are not permitted to take the Craft Specialization courses. Students with non-degree seeking status who desire to become candidates for a degree from ACBA must meet all appropriate requirements for admissions.

ACBA does offer week-long courses that may or may not award credit (depending upon the course) that are open to both students and the public. These courses are regularly craft specialization courses and interested persons should follow our website to view the course offerings in this area.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
