Introducing the Evening and Weekend option at The Art Institute of Dallas. Now students can earn their degree in Culinary Arts, Graphic Design, Interior Design, or Fashion Design in an evening and weekend, online and on-ground format. These delivery options are designed to allow working adults the opportunity to complete their education in just over two years* for an associate’s degree, or less than four years** for the bachelor’s degree, depending on how many courses a student takes in each quarter. 

Students will take two to four classes in the evenings on campus, along with one or two classes online each quarter, and/or one to two classes on Saturdays, depending on availability. Internships are required in each program and evening and weekend internships cannot be guaranteed; students may need to adjust their schedule. All online courses are five and a half weeks and two classes can be taken in one quarter. At the time of enrollment, students will be advised of the classes that will be offered online and on-ground. These courses will have been pre-selected by the student's academic director or academic advisor. These program options provide excellent educational opportunities for working adults, providing them some flexibility in scheduling and the number of courses they wish to take each quarter, while they continue working at their current jobs, spending time with their family, and earning a degree in their chosen field.
