Marquette Cross-Registration
MIAD has developed a unique cross-registration program with nearby Marquette University. MIAD offers all the English, Humanities & Sciences, and Art History courses needed for the BFA requirements with a variety of elective options. However, students sometimes are interested in courses we do not offer. The Marquette program was developed to expand upon our offerings and accommodate students with more specific interests. For example, through Marquette, MIAD students can take classes in foreign languages, chemistry or theology. Some students enjoy taking ballet, acting or chorus, simply for self-enrichment. As a full-time student in good standing, you are eligible to cross-register for a maximum of six credits each semester. However, you must be able to meet any prerequisites before registering for a course. The cost of enrolling in the program is included in your full-time tuition.
