How good is Miami Ad School?

VCU ADcenter is the best

Hmm, but is MAS actually good and well-known?
Pretty please? :)

O curso é bom sim cara.

Mas é aquele negócio, ele é tão bom quanto o aluno.
Se você se esforçar, ralar, buscar referencias e tentar fazer um trabalho novo e diferente, vale muito a pena.

Outra coisa bacana é o quarter away.
DEpois de fazer um ano no Brasil, você pode passar o outro ano estagiando em agencias mundo afora, o que é um grande diferencial.

Agora, se vc tiver grana sobrando eu aconselho fazer a escola fora, mais precisamente em hamburgo.
A miami de lá é a melhor do mundo (basta ver os premios que seus alunos têm ganho.)

Opa! Obrigado! :)

MAS is a great school. A bit overpriced. But good nonetheless. You pay for connections in the industry.

The Miami location is going down hill though, as all the Crispin creatives have left for boulder.

I went to MAS 2000-2002, graduating from Miami. It was the key to my career. I referred 3 friends of mine, and they attended the program, all coming straight from Beirut (which is not easy). The pple you meet are priceless, and the exposure you get, you'll never get, and the chances to get hired are infinite.
When I joined, I didn't know anything abt advertising, nor photography..no worries.
After graduating I had a couple of internships/jobs that include, Saatchi london, BBH london, Leo Burnett Saudi Arabia,
TBWA\PARIS, Freelance NYC, and now JWT Casablanca...
It's all open..

@Motti: Thanks for your comment. I’m the Director of Creative Resources at Miami Ad School and would like to thank you for inquiring about MAS Sao Paulo. As 'tinok' mentioned, our students and graduates can gain experiences at "internships/jobs that include, Saatchi london, BBH london, Leo Burnett Saudi Arabia, TBWA\PARIS, Freelance NYC, and now JWT Casablanca... ".

@bfrosty: Thanks for the “great school” shout out. It’s true there are cheaper options and you get what ya’ pay for. In today's advertising industry, “connections” do often matter. Miami Ad School is truly an investment in one’s future because our teachers rock.

Regarding the Crispin creative department, rest assured that the program and school in Miami remain full of energy and creativity regardless of the location of Crispin Porter + Bogusky's creative department. We view their location expansion as an opportunity to send many of our students to Boulder, CO for a most valuable quarter away experience.

Are there any online courses in graphic design in the school?

Hi khalsain! At this time, we do not offer any online courses through Miami Ad School. We have a wonderful graphic design program for full time students who have been accepted into the school. If you have any other questions, feel free to email info@miamiadschool.com or laura@miamiadschool.com

Thanks!

I friggin loved MAS. It was def one of those a-ha moments in my professional life. There is no way I would be where I am at today if it was not for MAS. The teachers they use and the resources they have are endless. Think about it. You learn from creatives in the industry young and old and if you are an OPEN MINDED individual you can learn a lot. I will say that if I was going to do it over again I would try to not go to the South Beach location. You can get into a lot of trouble.:) One of the teachers bailed my sorry butt out of jail once. If that tells you anything about the people there. You truly become part of a family. Good luck to ya!

can you pls inform me about the prices??????

and can we apply the art director or graphic design departments without any previous education on them???
