Faculty
Our Faculty members are industry-leading artists and designers who bring together decades of professional and educational experience to deliver excellent courses and online instruction.
“I enjoy teaching online because of the creativity, flexibility, and rapid update-ability of content that online teaching affords. I particularly enjoy teaching at Sessions because we attract students who are serious about their education and are eager to learn.”

Advisory Board
Our Advisory Board is a multi-disciplinary external group of veteran artists, designers, and employers who provide an industry perspective on workplace needs and an annual program review.
“When a graduate is able to showcase a really powerful set of pieces, a ‘system of design,’ that’s impressive to an employer, even if they’re not in the same industry, because they can see that someone can go from beginning to end.”
Leslie McDougall
