History

Founded in 1916 as The Commercial Art School, the college was one of the first applied art and design schools in the United States . The college became widely known in the 1930s as Ray-Vogue School and was renamed Ray College of Design in 1981. The school grew to include the Schaumburg location in 1983 and in 1995, the college joined The Art Institutes system of schools, taking a different name in order to respect the trademarks of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
