Student Spotlights

CoA+A students are unified in their purpose to become both skilled in a discipline – this requires passion above all else! – and conscious of how their creative knowledge can be applied to so many vocations they may choose in life. More than anything else, we hope to attract students who are “on a mission” and who are active in their willingness to exercise mind, body and soul.
