Graduates actually go on to do great in their fields, regardless of NA accreditation. But I’ll be damned if their tuition is not super disgusting. 63k total for a degree? No thank you. Some programs are even more expensive. Now that includes EVERYTHING needed for your degree. Any software you’ll need, equipment, the whole nine yards, but even so it is just ridiculously costly.
I think part of the reason the tuition is so high is because they're catering to a niche market. Also the equipment used for many of their programs is not cheap. The school definitely sounds like it's far more about the experience than the textbooks unlike many schools.
But as a DL student how much of that are you going to be benefiting from?
You get all of the software needed. Some of it is really pricy. I believe laptops are included as well. These aren't $200 laptops from Walmart. One program I looked at came with a MacBook. My Macbook's have cost me a few grand each. You're also getting access to all kinds of connections to the various media industries. That networking and alumni connection can be priceless for some who use it to their advantage.
