How Does Art Center Measure Up? AICAD Benchmarks

Posted by Jered Gold on 25th February 2010

Benchmarks are key indicators that allow us to compare ourselves to other colleges. The forty schools in the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design (AICAD) constitute the majority of our peer institutions. AICAD publishes yearly data reports comparing financial, enrollment, completion and retention rates, as well as other measurable indicators. The information in these tables is for Fall 2008.

Document compiled by Fred Fehlau, Dean of Academic Affairs. Thanks Fred!!
