High level of professional and career individuals who went on to become faculty afterwards. College is well-equipped with film, video, production, post, studios and audio equipment. Performing Arts program has outstanding performance spaces.

Politics play a role in many things as they do in most of academia. Urban campus limits available space for expansion.
