The prospective student must be a high school graduate with a high school GPA of 2.5, or hold a General Educational Development (GED) Certificate with a score of 257 or higher, or a bachelor's degree or higher as a prerequisite for admissions. Students must have strong drawing skills to succeed in this program; therefore, a portfolio of 10-20 drawings must be submitted for evaluation during the application process. Drawings should demonstrate current competency with figure drawing and use of color, texture and shading. Specific advice regarding acceptable file formats and proper submission of portfolio examples will be provided by an admissions representative during the application process.

Each student who enrolls at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online Division is required to complete an online student orientation prior to the start date of the student's first course. The online orientation helps the student become familiar with different features of the online classroom environment and prepares the student for his or her role as an active learner in the online classroom.
