Education Management Corp. is closing 15 of its Art Institute campuses, including a branch in Houston. The Art Institute Houston - North, at 10740 N. Gessner Drive, is one of the campuses that will close, affecting 310 students.

However, the main campus, at 4140 Southwest Freeway, will not close. A total of 5,432 students are enrolled among the campuses that are slated to close, according to a list provided by EDMC. The company will undergo a teach out process at each location, meaning each campus will continue to offer courses, student services and placement assistance until the last student has graduated, according to Hardman.

Campuses were notified of the closures May 6, 2015.
