Tuesday Tour Day — The Art Institutes of Pittsburgh

The Art Institute of Pittsburgh is one of The Art Institutes, a system of over fifty schools throughout North America dedicated to providing hands-on education in the creative and applied arts. Pittsburgh has emerged as one of America’s most livable cities — a renowned leader in health care, technology, education, robotics, the arts, and career opportunities. It offers a patchwork of diverse styles and nationalities, sprung from the roots of a steel town where people came from around the world to build better lives.

Academics
The Art Institute of Pittsburgh offers bachelor’s and associate degree programs, as well as non-degree programs, for students interested in pursuing career opportunities in creative fields like design, media arts, fashion, and culinary. Current Bachelor’s degrees programs include audio production, culinary management, entertainment design, fashion design, fashion marketing & management, game art & design, hotel & restaurant management, interior design, media arts & animation, and visual effects & motion graphics.

Campus life
The Art Institute schools offer a learning environment with professional-grade technology applicable to each student’s course of study, where students have the opportunity to build a portfolio of work that demonstrates their skills and creativity to potential employers. Many Art Institutes locations also offer housing for students on and off campus. Costs can be included in their financial plan, and school-sponsored housing gives students an opportunity to interact with other students and participate in school-sponsored activities.
