The Art Institute Online (commonly abbreviated AiO) is the online branch of The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. A part of the system of 32 Art Institutes located in North America, this online school offers degree programs as well as non-degree diploma courses in a variety of creative fields. The Art Institute Online allows busy people to attend art training and education, but also serves as an online class environment for on-ground Art Institute students.
Fully accredited as a division of The Art Institute of Pittsburgh, AiO offers degree programs for Advertising, Fashion & Retail Management, Culinary Arts, Graphic Design, Interior Design, Interactive Media, Media Arts & Animation, Game Art & Design and Hotel & Restaurant Management. The online class environment follows the Socratic method, making classroom discussion and participation in the learning experience key aspects of the learning model.
As AiO is an online school, it is technology driven and students must have required software and decent computer skills to attend.
