About the PCAE Program

Academy of Art University offers the Pre-College Art Experience (PCAE), a TUITION-FREE pre-college program, to all high school students interested in experiencing what student life is like in an art college. It’s a great opportunity to jump-start your art and design education while earning money toward your college degree. The program is open for admissions throughout the entire year, with semesters available online in spring and fall, and on-site in the Academy’s San Francisco campus in the summer.
