i would like to attend a four year college after i finish my senior year of high school but in the meantime i am interested in learning more about media and interior art. can i start earning a degree online from the art institute and then still go to a four year college next fall? i don’t mind doing both or dropping the srt institute after one year…
Technically yes, you’ll be required to pass a college entrance exam, and as long as you are accepted into the school, you do not need a diploma in order to attend.
If you’re going to take classes in media and art, I’d much rather you take them somewhere reputable, and someplace that’s regionally accredited. The AI chain isn’t very well respected, and they are expensive, and their classes won’t transfer to your college, if you wanted them to.
You can check the art schools near you to see what art classes they offer online. But some that offer quite a few include Mass Art, Minneapolis College of Art, Savannah College of Art, and Academy of Art University. Those are all reputable and regionally accredited.
In fact, speak to your guidance counsellor about this. There are sometimes ways that you can have the online classes you take at a college apply toward your HS graduation.
