The Art Institute of Pittsburgh

Online Courses at AIOPOD

Each course is 5.5 weeks in length and very fast paced. The professors for the most part are excellent and willing to go to great lengths to aid in a student's progress in class. I have had only one terrible professor and he was reported to the Institute by all the students in that particular class. He was dealt with but I am not privy to the outcome. I was assured his attitude and actions were not welcome at the Institute and that he will be straightened out or put out. Their guidelines are manageable and student tutoring, technical issues and other support is wonderful! Though some of the courses are difficult to fit everything into a 5.5 week timeline, most are manageable. There is A LOT of reading, and that is hard for me with my family around me, but even if I can't finish all the textbook reading, the online lectures are excellent and usually help very much.

Enrollment Was So Simple

My main reason for choosing this school was that dealing with the enrollment process was very easy, not in the least initimidating. I was being interviewed without even knowing it by Bob Hallisey. He was very nice, down to earth and after speaking with him, I didn't even look any further for my school.

Online Division

The students I have worked and communicated with are all working class folks, most with families or needing to further their education to find work or progress in their current jobs. There have only been a few instances of discord that I know of personally which was merely a misunderstanding and quickly resolved.
