Thank you to all of our amazing faculty, staff, and alumni of the Academy.
It is with deep regret that the American Academy of Art College announces it will be closing its
doors after more than a century of preparing thousands of graduates for successful careers in art.
The decision to close comes in response to a significant decline in enrollments following the
COVID-19 pandemic, a challenge faced by many educational institutions.
In light of the closure, the Academy has entered into an agreement with a local accredited art
college to accept its students and expedite the admission and enrollment process for Fall 2024.
The Academy is also providing support to its students regarding transfer options to other
institutions where they can complete their academic programs.
The Academy regrets that, after more than 100 years, it lacks financial viability to continue
operations but it is extremely grateful for the opportunity it has had to serve tens of thousands of
students and to witness many of them graduate and lead successful careers.
The American Academy of Art College is making arrangements to maintain academic records
and make them available to students upon request. The Academy is also cooperating with its
regulators to provide necessary information relating to the closure of the institution.
The American Academy of Art College is profoundly grateful for the opportunity to prepare its
many graduates for successful careers in the art world over the past 100 years. The legacy of the Academy will continue to live on through the achievements and contributions of its talented
alumni.
