The Media Arts Center is an attract school, not a pursuit school. There are no admissions advisors, enrollment counselors, or recruiters of any kind. Everyone who works here is a teacher experienced in subjects they know deeply. If you want to be chosen for one of ten seats in an upcoming class the obligation is on you to read, reach out, apply, and tour. We are not a community college and do not accept everyone in the community.

We look for initiative, communication, and preparation in all applicants prior to consideration for acceptance.

The Media Arts Center is not affiliated with the CSB Media Arts Center.
