The Art Institutes

:"This article is about the chain of for-profit art schools. For the stand-alone art college in Boston, see The Art Institute of Boston; for the stand-alone art college in Chicago, see the School of the Art Institute of Chicago; for the stand-alone art college in San Francisco, see San Francisco Art Institute, none of which are affiliated with The Art Institutes."

The Art Institutes (often abbreviated as Ai) is a collection of private, for-profit educational institutions for career preparation in the visual, creative, and applied arts, including design, media, fashion, and culinary programs. There are 41 Art Institutes located in major cities across North America, and have over 125,000 graduates. The Art Institute Online [http://www.aionline.edu/] , a division of The Art Institute of Pittsburgh, also has online courses available. The Art Institutes awards master's degrees, bachelor's degrees, associate’s degrees, and non-degree-program certificates. Ai is headquartered in Pittsburgh, and is a division of Education Management Corporation (EDMC). Educational accreditation of The Art Institutes and their programs varies among campuses and programs; the accreditation status and career orientation of the institutions and their programs may cause some students to experience difficulty in transferring Ai credits or with enrolling in graduate-level college/university programs.
