APRIL 2018
CAMPUS VISIT DAY

MIAD invites all students admitted for fall 2018 and their families to attend Campus Visit Day on Saturday, April 28, 2018 on MIAD’s campus located at 273 East Erie Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 53202. Campus Visit Day provides opportunities to tour our campus and residence hall, TWO50TWO, to secure a place in the fall 2018 class and residence hall, as well as meet fellow classmates. Detailed information on Campus Visit Day will be mailed to admitted students in spring.

During fall and early winter, MIAD admissions representatives travel North America to meet prospective students. We are happy to discuss our programs, admissions process, scholarship and financial aid opportunities, and portfolio development with you and your family. Visits to specific high schools usually occur the week prior to or after a portfolio day in a specific state or region; for more detailed information about high school visits, please consult your school’s art department.

If an admissions representative will not attend an event near you, we encourage all students to visit MIAD’s campus. Tours and portfolio reviews are available by appointment, and you may schedule a visit by calling the Office of Admissions at 1‑888‑749‑MIAD or by emailing admissions@miad.edu.
