How much does a degree in Game Art and Design, from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh - Online Division cost?

I am a sophomore in high school and I've known what career I wanted since I was in sixth grade. This year I sent my information in so that I could get information on the school and they said that I had to be a senior in high school to request information. I just want to know what the total cost is so that I could start saving now and looking at possible loan, grants and scholarships that I should get.How much does a degree in Game Art and Design, from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh - Online Division cost?

Stay away from AI. If not the game design field.



AI lures people in to that major (along with Animation and others like it)



Its just an elaborate scam to lure in students, bilk them out of government loans and grants, and leave the student with the bill.



Avoid them like a plague. They're going to cost you over $90,000 and then employers think the degrees from there are a joke because AI is nothing more than a degree mill.How much does a degree in Game Art and Design, from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh - Online Division cost?
I second what the other respondent said as the "art institute" is one of those private overly priced For-profit tech schools. They are merely out to "make a profit" (** and course credits may NOT transfer to other schools). Other private $$ for-profit schools to avoid include "fashion institute of technology", "academy of art", "fashion institute of design", "ITT tech", "devry", "westwood", "university of phoenix", "strayer" and others.



These consumer sites have negative posts by former students of those private overpriced for-profit schools, and please heed the students' warnings:

Please be aware that in order to Possibly get a job as a game designer, that most need at least a bachelor's (four-year) degree in computer software engineering or computer programming.



This site is supposed to have ABET accredited programs in computers, technology and engineering: http://www.abet.org



Instead of those private expensive for-profit schools, please consider the local community college and/or state university as long as the program is accredited within the industry.
