Kasey Congleton

Here I was the best in any hair salon I worked in. I even got my real estate license. Then one day The Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online Division popped up on my screen. I walked away from everything and SPLIT! My clients freaked. I was signed up within a week. The opportunity and the lifestyle to go to school, and my sister's support have made this all possible for me to live my passion for art. I pinch my self DAILY. I dreamed of this for soooooo long, and here I am.

Catherine Green

I live in a rural community which is about 200 miles (roundtrip) to the nearest city. Recently, I decided I wanted to get my degree in Interior Design, but I wasn't willing to drive that distance every day. With the price of gas as high as it is, The Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online Division has allowed me to start something I have dreamt about for awhile. The Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online Division is a great alternative to driving to school everyday.
