PITTSBURGH, June 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Art Institutes system of schools announces four new programs designed to prepare students to enter the growing creative marketplace. The programs are offered in addition to the system of schools' existing programs in the areas of design, media arts, and culinary.
New programs are the Bachelor of Science (BS) in Instructional Technology & Design, Bachelor of Science (BS) in Marketing & Entertainment Management, Bachelor of Science (BS) or Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Professional Writing for Creative Arts, and Bachelor of Science (BS) in Software Development for Creative Technologies.
