The Art Institutes system of schools is a leading educator of students in the creative and applied arts, including design, media arts, fashion, and culinary arts programs. There are more than 35 locations in major cities throughout North America and we’ve graduated more than 165,000 students. The Art Institutes locations award master's degrees, bachelor’s degrees, associate’s degrees, and also offer non-degree programs.

Our curriculum 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 members also work outside of the classroom so you’ll learn what’s happening out there…in here. Culinary students learn and work in professional kitchens and gain work experience by participating in internships, externships, or by working at on-site, school restaurants.   More detail...
