The Art Institutes International Minnesota President or designee must approve all exceptions. A student may submit proof of an Associate’s degree that is fully transferable to a Bachelor’s degree from any accredited post-secondary school to satisfy the high school or GED requirement. ENROLLMENT PROCEDURE An application for admission must be completed, signed by the applicant and sent to The Art Institutes International Minnesota with a $50 application fee. As part of the application, the applicant is required to independently conceive and write an essay of approximately 150 words stating how his/her education at The Art Institutes International Minnesota will help attain his/her career goals.

A student may submit proof of a degree from any accredited post-secondary school to satisfy the high school or GED requirement.
