Ok I need help here. I am passionate about photography and am planning on going to school for it. Right now I need an online school and have found the Art Institute of Pittsburgh’s Online. I have spoken to an advisor and she sold me on the school. But then i did some research and found a review site for the school. I am utterly at a loss. Half say its a terrible school that just wants your money. The other half say its a wonderful school. I know this will be said for any online school thats just the way things are. But I need some honest answers here! If anyone has or is a student at this school please give me some feedback!
I am a current student at Art Institute of Portland and the online Pittsburgh school. So far things are fine. The thing you have to realize is that only some of the Art Institutes are certified schools, which really doesn’t matter, because you’ll still get a degree, but because they are a private school they can kinda make stuff up as they go, and the credits won’t transfer if you decide to go somewhere else. Also be aware that not all professionals see the art institute as a credible school, so yeah, in a way they just want your money, but on the other hand you’ll get a lot of inspiration and learn a lot.
