As Wisconsin’s leading private, nonprofit art and design college, MIAD prepares students for diverse, fulfilling, and financially rewarding careers through innovative, entrepreneurial thinking in a student-focused community.

Today, MIAD enrolls over 800 students annually in its nationally ranked BFA programs, including Communication Design, Illustration, Animation Track (Illustration), Product Design, Fashion and Apparel Design, Fine Art + New Studio Practice, and Interior Architecture and Design.

Beyond the classroom, MIAD fosters cultural experiences and community impact through robust youth programs, nonprofit partnerships, and corporate collaborations, strengthening Milwaukee’s creative economy.

Looking forward, MIAD remains a dynamic educational and creative force, addressing broad societal needs through action, intention, and expression.
