The Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online Division Reviews:
As unbiased of a review as possible.
January 26, 2012
I am a military spouse and change locations frequently. Therefore, I pursued an online university that was accredited and established. I originally enrolled as an interior design student and choose AIO because of its online program and accreditation through CIDA. I later changed my career path to graphic design, shortly before I left AI to transfer to a different liberal arts school. My chief complaint is the cost of a 4 year degree with AIO. ...
What are they teaching that you can't teach yourself?
October 27, 2011
They don't want to help me get an internship I don't understand it, and now I am told that they don't help get me interviews either. My teacher tried to soften the blow by saying no school does that, but that is a complete lie. The recruiter said the opposite, how can I benefit from a lie?
works for me
September 29, 2011
My experience at the art institute online is mixed...it is difficult to hear back from financial aid and counselors once you have started your program. Thank goodness my teachers have been terrific! Art is my life and I am finally able to take classes that give me real skills for a job of my dreams. The classes are very useful in my field of graphic design. It can be hard to keep up with the ...
AIP - Excellent School Who Cares About Their Students
September 29, 2011
I'm not certain "why" you two are dish'n the school. I have three degrees - all from different schools. THIS university taught me what I needed to learn and what I needed to learn to succeed. It seems to me that poster #1... a father-in-law - is NOT an immediate relative. Guess what... NO school would honor that. I'm sorry. But... bereavement time only applies to immediate family (i.e., mother, father, child, spouse). Poster #2...
Worst Educational Experience ever
September 4, 2011
The Art Institute did nothing to assist me in my education except hound me to start. The only person that showed an ounce of concern was my admissions counselor that stopped calling as soon as I was enrolled. 1 day into my 5th class at AIP i had a family emergency and I had to leave town. My father in law had emergency brain surgery, I immediately called my financial aid advisor and after numerous ...
Excellent Education
June 28, 2011
Since completing my degree, it has become starkly evident to me that the education I received at The Art Institute was head and shoulders above what most "graphic designers" are getting wherever else they are going to school. My courses formed a complete base of skill, theory, history and practical application. Things that I have learned are things I am now able to pass on to other professionals in my field as many of them ...
BE WARNED OF FALSE CLAIMS MADE BY THIS SCHOOL
August 13, 2010
When deciding to go to the Art Institute of Pittsburgh I was told by the Assistant Director of Admissions that career services would work closely with you and help you land interviews. To quote him he said “we will line up the interview and all you have to do is go to them, we can’t do that for you, ha ha”. This was a bold face lie. All career services will do is read over ...

FOR THOSE THAT ARE IN SERIOUS NEED OF ACCREDITATION CORRECTION...FOLLOW THIS LINK WITH THE TRUTH!!! {NOT affiliated with (ACICS)Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools at all. I currently attend there as well and have had nothing but "GOOD" and "POSITIVE" experiences as well. They helped me easily figure out a way I could afford schooling after a downfall I had too even in fact! The way was with dropping to a schedule that fits my lifestyle better instead of trying to take car of kids. hubby, business, and school all at the same time. So all in all I am even happier than I originally was even. AS far as responses...I'm not sure if there was a big change recently or what; but I've ALWAYS received VERY QUICK responses within 24 hours and usually only hours in fact. At every new class I even get calls to meet an greet with my professors each class as well! :) Every school adviser I've had has been MORE than helpful as well even. However, I have had online schooling before so I have had some experience and with that said if your not a completely "independent" type...online schooling just may not be for you as it really relies upon yourself to get all your tasks and time management in order is what I mean. Ok now with that all said...I am attending this school of choice for my Bachelors of Science in Photography and since beginning my schooling with them I have already been contacted to re-apply for my degree there by Colorado State University (which funny story didn't accept me as my 1st local choice originally lol), been able to begin and grow business, find other alike minds and future friends.classmates to market through each other with, and I now more so than before actually have some extra funds to use every 3 months from left over stipends too. Which yes I know that I pay them all back anyway; but for me it just helps invest into my business/schooling anyway which saves my out of pocket expenses now W/O real employment to depend on. Ok now here is that link that clearly states all these people on here claiming it is the other are all completely incorrect and WRONG indeed. This is a link pulled right from AIO (Pittsburgh) site as well. I actually did a lot of my research BEFORE attending and I must say...I agree that most negative comments are from those that must not have done their part or understood though. To get ahead in life in this society today EVERYTHING COSTS...so the sooner you suck it up and take it the happier you can find your life to be in your endeavors/career goals as a whole! It's already helping me after all as stated!!! :) Accreditation: The Art Institute of Pittsburgh is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE). (Can't post the link...it won't let me; so I posted the info here for you instead. lol)I do not recomend applying for this school. I attened a semester that I shouldnt of even been allowed to, I didnt have a job at the time, and I had horable credit, but they promised me that they would be able to help me in all financial expences. I had problems with my verison internet bill that came to $4,000 and needless to say I lost my connection couldnt pay for either one of my bills and now Im getting phone calls every night and not to mention all lhe letters I get from salie may. I will never be able to pay this on my own. I still dont have a job that pays, my job is at home with my kids and thats where my life long focus is. In the phone calls they have threntend me that they will garnish my wadges....well good luck I dont work what can I do ...I want to file bankruptcy but this being federal I cant..If Obama bails us out I would be saved, thats the only way I can get this off my back. I dont know how they expect me to give them anything when all the money I do recive go right to billd and food so I can take cake of my babies.
