Antonelli College

Overview of Antonelli College

Founded in 1947 in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio as the Gebhardt Art School, Antonelli College was renamed the Ohio Visual Art Institute in the mid-1970s before acquiring its present name in 1982. Since its inception, the institution has emphasized instruction in the visual arts but during the 1990s, programs were added in the field of business office technology. In 1996, two satellite branches were added in Jackson and Hattiesburg, Mississippi; and the school's curriculum was enhanced with courses in medical disciplines. Antonelli College today strives to create an environment that prepares its graduates for careers as qualified professionals in their chosen fields.
