I am a former faculty member at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. There is no way I would have attended this school, nor would I recommend it to anyone. Profit trumps education at every turn. The administration—from the smiling, slimy president Sebolt all the way down are generally from the business world not academia. They will accept anyone with a Pell grant and a pulse. I had students who were legally blind in drawing classes, students who couldn't speak English, students with ankle monitoring bracelets, students with serious mental health and/or substance abuse issues, students with little or no skill or motivation. The school provides little or no support. These people are bastards, stay away from them and go to a real school. Anyone who tells you they can teach you to draw in 44 hours is a damn liar.

questionMy sister has been interested in this school for her entire life, and is graduating this coming June and is planning on going there. She is in the Video Production/Film program. I have never known her to be interested in anything else and this is all she really wants. Would you still recommend her not going here? And if so what schools can you recommend since you have been working in this field?
