Notoriety

Alumni and professors of The Art Institute of Houston have been interviewed and featured in stories by major media outlets such as MSNBC and the Houston Chronicle as well as local media outlets such as the Houston Business Journal.

In 1999, 145 students brought suit against the Art Institute of Houston and its former parent company Education Management Corporation Inc alleging they were defrauded by the school. The students alleged that while seeking to gain a quality education, they were lured into enrollment at the Art Institute of Houston and encouraged to matriculate, often under an albatross of hefty student loans. They charged the school knowingly misled students into believing they would receive a valuable post-secondary education as well as skills which would lead to subsequent employment. The lawsuit was settled by a confidential agreement in 2000.
