What Students Are Saying
An amazing school you feel that you belong at. Works insanely hard to set up your future career. Is a great choice if you want to go far in life.
Alexa from Milwaukee, WI
A very focused and disciplined school for it's unruly subject: art. In the first semester you already get an idea of what you will move onto in the following years to come. Your time is not wasted and there is so much to learn at MIAD! There is not a day that goes by that students here are not improving in some way and your self expression is something that is your most important tool.
