Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get more information about PTI's tuition?

There are several factors that make it difficult to directly compare tuition prices - a PTI education normally only takes nine months - a fraction of the time that a traditional college takes - our curriculum doesn't follow a traditional semester or quarter schedule, and many of your supplies are included in the tuition costs. Because of this, an admissions representative is the best equipped to show you how to factor all these considerations when researching your education.

When can I come visit?

You are welcome to visit anytime! In fact, we believe taking a tour is the best way for you to learn about PTI.

Will I be able to work while attending PTI?

Absolutely! To accommodate your needs, PTI offers day and evening classes at the school.

What are the admission requirements for PTI?

Applicants must have a High School Diploma or General Educational Development (G.E.D.) certificate or a certificate that demonstrates they have met the requirements of the High School Proficiency Exam. For applicants under the age of 18, we will need written approval from a parent or guardian.

Additionally, because we want to make sure all applicants have what it takes to succeed in the visual arts program, we administer an evaluation prepared by Wonderlic, a nationally recognized student and employee assessment company.

What if I don't have a High School Diploma or GED?

We still would like you to pay us a visit because we can provide you with resources on where and how to prepare for your High School Diploma or GED, which generally takes about four weeks or less. Regardless of whether you choose to enroll at PTI or not, we believe that it is in your interest to acquire your high school diploma or your GED for any career you choose.

What if I don't score with Wonderlic's evaluation?

We recognize that some applicants, although capable, may not have prepared for the evaluation. If you do not meet the evaluation criteria, you will be allowed to re-take the evaluation after a one week waiting period. Conversely, if you do well on the test but six months lapse before you enroll, you will be asked to re-take the evaluation.

Does Precision Technical Institute offer on-campus housing?

PTI does not offer on-campus living arrangements

What is the background of a typical PTI instructor?

The typical PTI instructor has spent years working in the visual arts field doing the type of work that he/she now teaches at PTI. These dedicated professionals come to PTI because of the school's reputation in the industry as one of the best colleges in visual arts education. The majority of our instructors continue to be active in the visual arts field which allows them to bring current production knowledge and examples to their students.
