Featured College

Preparing students for professional, creative careers, the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design (MIAD) is Wisconsin's only four-year, private college of visual art and design. We believe in the power of art and design to not merely reflect the world but to change it. MIAD is where passion finds purpose.

MIAD's campus is located in Milwaukee's official arts district, bordered by the Milwaukee River and Lake Michigan. It's one of the largest, safest and most comprehensive art and design environments in the U.S.

There is a gritty energy here as we work, create, tear down, start over, fail, succeed, fail again, triumph and transition from being purely passionate to being passionate professionals. We build off of one another, collaborate and solve problems together. We connect in meaningful ways to the community and help make our neighborhood and world a better place.
