When are the classes?
All classes are in the evenings. Get a job or sleep in, it’s your call.

Where do most Brainco students come from?
Most students fit into these categories...

  1. People currently working in agencies (media, traffic, production, etc.) that want a job on the creative side or account side.
  2. Production artists who are tired of art directors and designers hogging the limelight.
  3. Career changers who decided it’s time to follow their dream
  4. Recent college grads who need more specialized training than their school could offer
  5. People whose parents wish they would hurry up, get a job and move out of the basement.

What about housing?
All housing is off-campus. There are many cool places to live in Minneapolis and if you’re looking for a roommate, we’ll connect you with other students coming here from around the country.

We can’t guarantee your roommate will have hygiene practices that are above reproach, come over to do the dishes that have been piling up and if you have multiple large animals you’re on your own.

Is Student Aid available?
Student loans are available for those who qualify. There are also scholarships for advanced students. Our goal is to make a creative education possible for everyone. Call 952.931.0303 for more information.

Can I receive advanced placement for prior experience?
Yes. In cases where students have already worked at an agency or design firm, they may be considered for advanced placement. Because of the nature of our curriculum, this is an exception, not the norm.

Prior experience does not include: writing “SALE” on cardboard for your mom’s garage sale, really liking Nike’s print ads, or designing the logo for your friend’s arena rock cover band. Though it should be noted that these experiences, if you have had them, may come in handy. (Honest.)

Can I talk with former or current students about the program?
Sure, just give us a call and we’ll be glad to put you in touch with past and present students. If you want to speak with a future student, just talk to yourself. 952.931.0303.
