The Art Institute of California — Inland Empire is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology (ACCSCT) as a branch of The Art Institute of California — San Diego. The Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology is listed by the United States Department of Education as a nationally recognized accrediting agency. However, the fact that a school is licensed and accredited is not necessarily an indication that credits earned at that school will be accepted by another school. In the U.S. higher education system, transferability of credit is always determined by the receiving institution taking into account such factors as course content, grades, accreditation and licensing.

The mission of The Art Institute of California — Inland Empire is to help you to prepare for entry-level employment in your chosen field of study. The value of degree programs like those offered by The Art Institute of California — Inland Empire is their deliberate focus on marketable skills. The credits earned are not intended as a stepping stone for transfer to another institution. For this reason, it is unlikely that the academic credits you earn at The Art Institute of California — Inland Empire will transfer to another school. For example, if you entered our school as a freshman, you will likely be a freshman if you enter another college or university at some time in the future even though you earned credits here at our school. In addition, if you earn a degree, diploma, or certificate in our program, in most cases it will probably not serve as a basis for obtaining a higher level degree at another college or university. This statement is provided in accordance with California Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education Reform Act §94816(b), January 1, 1998. Programs offered by one school within The Art Institutes system may be similar to but not identical to programs offered at another school within the system. This is due to differences imposed by state law, use of different instructional models, and local employer needs. Therefore, if you decide to transfer to another school within The Art Institutes system, not all of the credits you earn at The Art Institute of California — Inland Empire may be transferable into that school’s program.

If you are considering transferring to either another Art Institute or an unaffiliated school, it is your responsibility to determine whether that school will accept your Art Institute credits. We encourage you to make this determination as early as possible. The Art Institute of California — Inland Empire does not imply, promise, or guarantee transferability of its credits to any other institution.
