We’re excited to provide a variety of ways to see MIAD’s campus! We are committed to providing safe and engaging opportunities for prospective students and their families to experience all that MIAD’s urban campus offers. A visit to MIAD’s campus is an opportunity to see what our students see. Neat, it is not. There is dust. There is grit. Paint has been spilled. People are at work here, and this is the place where your passion can find purpose.
During my time at MIAD I was able to explore how I wanted to use my passion for illustration in my future career. You can make a career out of doing what you love! It takes hard work and perseverance, but being able to work within your passion is amazing!
