I am thinking about attending the Art Institute of Pittsburgh - Online and wanted to know if anyone else ever attended here? I was thinking either Web Design and Interactive Media or Media Arts and Animation.

I actually attend the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and I'm Studying web design & new media. The art institute was on my list of potential schools, but I wasn't too impressed with their curriculum and student work. I was also signed up to attend the International academy of design and technology to study graphic design, but it was the same thing. Student work wasn't too impressive and it just seemed kinda eh. It's tough to attend or find a good school that teaches these things, as they all seem like a money making machine..... Good luck in your search
I know! How crazy
Never attended Ai, but a lot of my friends have, and enjoyed it. Decent program.
I myself attend Academy of Art University (online), which is based in San Francisco and is fantastic. Major in Web Design and New Media... which is basically what you're looking for (above).

I just looked at their website and I have to say i am impressed. Can you give me a break down of how the classes work online?
Here's what I did in my very first semester...... This was done in Adobe illustrator using all vector graphics. Favorite class so far
Great use of gradients to mimic metallics my friend
I have my watch design somewhere at home, I gotta dig it up.
Thanks maing!
Yeah, I used some Chanel watch as a model. I didn't wanna do the brushed aluminum that everyone else did, so I went with this shiny/glossy look. Came out cool I think. Lets see yours!!!!
I did the Art Institute of Ft.Lauderdale....what is it that u really want to do?
I wanted to know how the curriculum was and if you truly learned anything "Online", I am sure the physical campus is good but I need an online university. The schools around me don't really teach animation, cgi, etc. I went to the local community college for awhile and learned web design but they didn't even touch on flash or any web animation/imaging. I needed to get into graphic design for that but the classes were held during the day (problem for me being employed fulltime), so I tried University of Phoenix online for their web design classes... that was a mistake I quickly regretted. Even PennState doesn't have the classes (I live to far from the main campus so I would have to go to one of the satellite campus'). This brings me to where I am today. I want to learn to use photoshop, illistrator, flash, Maya, 3ds max... etc. So I looked into the Art institute of Pgh Online and they looked promising but like others said, their student work didn't grab me. I wish i could attend an instructor led course but that doesn't seem feasible.
I'll put it to you this way... I've used design programs (be it Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, etc) and web programming (as you and I have talked about) for a long time now, and I learn new techniques, processes, and approaches every module of every class, every semester. I've had nothing but a great experience taking online classes for AAU. Even my printmaking class was fantastic. I had to order the mediums, chemicals, handmade paper, even screen printing devices just to take the class. They actually have you do everything hands on, just as if you were at the school (minus large industrial machinery that i'm sure students use at the school). But you get my point. They don't hand you a degree when online at AAU... you really have to earn it just as if you were at the campus itself. Shoot me a tweet, i'll answer any more q's ya have there.
I also left out the part about your concern, about class time... basically, online at AAU, you have a week to complete each "module". There are 15 in all (15 weeks of school, each week having it's own module), projects are turned in every monday, with 1 quiz per week. Midterm projects usually consist of a build up of 2 to 3 modules, and final projects usually are built up from the last 4 modules. So you can work on your own time, whenever you'd like. As long as you turn in your project by the due date/time, and take your quiz, you're good to go.
