Get the skills you need to realize your greatest potential - The mission of The Art Institute of Pittsburgh is to provide the highest quality creative and collegiate education enhanced by the best student centered service to graduate students with skills that enable them to realize their greatest potential in an evolving market place.
Curricula that emphasize actual job skills - Graduates are trained for entry level positions in their chosen fields through curricula that emphasize actual job skills needed in the field. Courses are taught by faculty, many of whom are working professionals, in an environment that encourages free expression, leadership and responsible decision making.
Our classroom often mimics what you'll find on the job - Our curriculum at The Art Institute is carefully scrutinized and developed by industry leaders and prominent employers who tell us what skills are needed in the workplace. This means that your education is relevant, practical, and hands-on. In fact, the classroom often mimics what you'll find on the job. Deadlines, pitching ideas in front of the class, and working in teams helps you flex those creative muscles. Many of our faculty are also working outside of the classroom so you'll learn what's happening out there...in here.
We are designed to encourage your success - Even our career services are designed to encourage your success. From helping you obtain part-time work while you are attending school to actively supporting soon-to-be graduates' job search, faculty and staff are committed to ensuring that each and every student receive the support he or she needs.
