culinary arts. "We are very pleased to have been granted this approval by
ACCSCT," said Greg Strick, president of The Art Institute of Los Angeles.
"It is a solid validation of our institution's continued commitment to
educational and administrative excellence. Most important, it allows us to

Institute students, who will be vital players in their respective
industries." The Art Institute of Los Angeles is one of The Art Institutes,
