PNCA is currently unranked in the not in the nation and in the world as an art school but for some reason it costs well over $160,000 for a four year degree. My alma mater, the University of Cincinnati, has a number two -ranked design school in the world DAAP, that only costs students around $26,000 for a four-year degree if you're willing to live it home with your parents and commute. Job placement for DAAP graduates is very high and they are placed into high salary jobs. Unfortunately I know many graduates from PNCA who are waiting tables while waiting for their career as a professional artist to emerge.
