I have an Associate of Applied Arts and a strong portfolio, but I think my applications get automatically rejected by the ATS application portals because most companies require a Bachelor's degree.

Is it okay to claim I have a Bachelor's? I attended The Art Institute and they closed last year so I don't think they'd even be able to verify. Do employers even verify educational records?

Thanks in advance!

Verification processes vary depending on where you’re working. My current employer definitely verified my educational background—if you’re caught it would be viewed as lying.
Even if schools close, there is typically still a way to verify degrees and dates.
