Resources available for Art Institute of Pittsburgh students
A week after the sudden, but not unexpected closure of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, state Attorney General Josh Shapiro’s office is offering guidance for students affected by the move.
“The sudden closure of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh has left hundreds of students across the Commonwealth in limbo about their academic futures, and my Bureau of Consumer Protection is actively looking for answers for them,” Shapiro said in a news release. “My office is working closely with the Pennsylvania Department of Education to help students and their families get answers to their questions and move forward with their academic careers. We will provide updates for students as we receive more information.”
