Our mission is to train students for careers that exist today. And to do that in a relatively short period of time.

 

Our philosophy enabling us to fulfill our mission consists of three main tenets: 1) to prepare students to assume a useful place in society and perform well in that place; hence, the objectives of qualified and employable graduates are of the utmost importance. 2) to offer, through a sincere concern on the part of educated and experienced teachers, the necessary tools of learning that will help to make the students' future a success. 3) To assure all students and prospective students that from the first contact to graduation, the relationship with all school officials will meet high standards of education and business ethics.

 

Delta College of Arts & Technology, Inc. was founded in December of 1983 as Communication Arts Training School for the purpose of offering quality art instruction in the Baton Rouge area. It was incorporated in September of 1985 under the name of Louisiana Art Institute to accommodate a larger scope of instruction

 

In June of 1992 Louisiana Art Institute was purchased by Delta College of Arts & Technology, Inc., and continued to operate as Louisiana Art Institute

 

Since June of 1992 the college has added programs in the medical, dental, nursing, and business/office fields. The addition of these programs significantly broadened the scope of training to where the Louisiana Art Institute name was no longer representative of the training offered. On October1, 1997, the name was changed to the corporate name of Delta College of Arts & Technology, Inc.
