Success

Q: How long will it take me to complete this program?
A: The program is designed to take 42 weeks to complete. 43.9% of graduates from this program finish in this time.

Q: What does this mean to me?
A: CRAS requires an internship for students to graduate. The on time completion rate applies to students who complete the 42 week program, in its entirety, including the internship, on or before their projected graduation date.

When a student leaves the campus for their internship, it can take some time to travel and settle in the city where they’re moving. Once they start their internship the hours are completed based on the needs of the internship site and the students own availability. This could overlap the projected graduation date which is the date used when determining the on time completion rate.

The Conservatory’s actual completion rate is currently 83%.
All of this information can be found on the website under our Consumer Information page, in our Student Handbook.

Q: What are the chances of getting a job when I graduate?
A: The job placement rate for students who complete this program is 83%.

Of 521 graduates in 2011, 430 gained employment in their field of study
