As a former TEACHER at an IADT, I can heartily assure you that these schools are interested in nothing but parting unsuspecting students from their money. The teacher pay is rock bottom, though many of the teachers I knew there did, in fact, want to teach well. However, it's hard to attract and keep good teachers when the institution makes it so obvious that good education is their very last concern.

Beware of "colleges for profit." They are not real colleges. Degrees from IADT mean squat. Any employer will choose a graduate from a real university over a graduate from a fake college. And as many have pointed out, anyone with a high school diploma (even with a d-minus average and a criminal record) is instantly accepted. Being "accepted" at IADT means nothing. Graduating from there means even less...It basically means you have been fooled and ripped off by a big corporation.

My advice? Go to a community college. The tuition will be a fraction of what you will pay at these For Profit schools, and the education will be real.
