Former SCA instructor djanky1 ((at)) aol dot com
Here are some facts about the school. In the one year I taught there (in the audio dept), the school’s director: Debra Hooper faced 2 separate charges of harassment and discrimination before the NC labor board. Staff and faculty at the school turned over quicker then the staff at the McDonalds down the street. Consider that if you’re planning on working there - this place is a text book example of a hostile work environment. If you’re considering going to school at SCA, it is true that you get out what you put in, but why put in to a school run by people more interested in lining their own pockets then upgrading their facilities and hiring (and retaining) quality instructors. Most of the good instructors (those with considerable pro experience and knowledge) I knew there when I taught have since left. Chances are if you have an instructor you like - they will quit or be fired before you finish your degree.
