Tribeca Flashpoint Academy Offers High School Seniors Fast Track to Job Success

CHICAGO, Jan. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- For high school seniors passionate about media arts, Tribeca Flashpoint Academy offers both a road less traveled and a fast track to job success.

Unlike traditional four-year undergraduate programs, TFA is part-college, part-industry apprenticeship, allowing students to obtain their associate degree in a variety of media and communications disciplines in just two years.

"I've gone on film shoots, I've been in film studios with legends like Ramsey Lewis. I've recorded music festivals," said Recording Arts student Dennis Huston. "It's a great environment. The teachers are top-notch. The students here are motivated. The staff is incredibly supportive. It's a great place and I love it."

And that intensive, real-world project work has proven fundamental to TFA students' remarkable record of job placement and career success.
