Faculty

One of the unique and exceptional things about all of the Instructors at Nossi College of Art is that, in addition to having their college degrees, they also have earned a living as a professional artist. Most of our Instructors are still working professionals and they teach for us part-time. This way, our students get the benefit of having Instructors in the classroom who are also dealing with clients and the public. For example, we have photographers and videographers who own their own studios but teach some courses for us. We have illustrators who work for book publishers but who teach our students at night. We have designers who work for a variety of companies but teach part-time at Nossi College of Art. It makes for a talented and exciting faculty!
Our staff is made up of people who truly want to help our students succeed. If you are admitted to Nossi College of Art and you attend classes with the attitude that you are going to try your best, then you will be successful here. Our staff will do everything they can do to help you while you are here -- and they will even help you after you graduate!
