Visit Our Campus

Futuristic classrooms. State-of-the-art labs. Halls that look more like an art gallery than any college you've seen before. At TFA, photos only paint half the picture. You've got to see it to believe it.

Whether you join us for a regularly scheduled Saturday tour or set up a private walkthrough during the week, we're excited to roll out the red carpet and show you exactly what makes us special.


Apply

When you're ready to apply to TFA, download an application and return it to us along with your short-answer and essay questions, your letters of recommendation,  and your application fee. (Further instructions are printed on the application itself.)

Once we've received your application, we'll evaluate your credentials and contact you to schedule a student interview. This will be your opportunity to demonstrate in person the drive, talent, and professionalism we look for in our students.
