Web Design - Diploma

Admissions Requirements

Students seeking admission to The Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online Division must meet the following requirements shown below.

The prospective student must be a high school graduate with a minimum, cumulative, final high school CGPA of 1.5 or higher, or hold a General Education Development (GED) Certificate, or associate's degree or higher as a prerequisite for admission.

Students entering the Web Design program will be required to take The Art Institute of Pittsburgh Computer Literacy test-out exam and successfully pass it. Those who do not pass the exam will be required to enroll in the Computer Literacy course (CPU101) and successfully complete it, or provide evidence that the course was taken at the college-level in the past five years, before they will be permitted to enroll. Computer Literacy credits will not count toward graduation requirements and all costs associated with the course will be the sole responsibility of the student.

Some courses in the Web Design program require written papers and proposals, and computation ability is needed in most programming courses. Therefore, to be admitted to the Web design diploma program, students must place into our college-level mathematics and composition courses through presentation of appropriate transfer credit or placement at this level through acceptable scores on the SAT, ACT, or ACCUPLACER test.

Online Orientation

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.
