But to make themselves more attractive to parents and students--and to make students more appealing to employers--several schools, including the CIA, Johnson & Wales and a handful of the affiliated Art Institutes nationwide (like those in Atlanta; Pittsburgh, Pa.; and Chicago) have instituted four-year bachelor's-degree programs.
