"The Art Institute's" Accreditation?

[SweetSecret]

The really interesting thing is that most of the Art Institutes are accredited as business schools, similar to an ITT Tech or DeVry, not like a top art school. They are very much all about the money, but will be liberal with PLA type credits if they think they can bribe you into enrolling. They certainly aren't cheap schools though. I attended an Art Institite - horrible decision. In two quarters I only had one instructor who was really good & had actually worked in the field he taught. Thank goodness I had him for two courses! Just for comparison, I also attended the Academy of Art University, which was a far superior school & highly competitive. All of my instructors there were amazing (professionals who had actually worked in their fields) & many of the students were super talented even as freshmen.
