Career Services

At first glance, careers in the visual arts may appear limited, but in fact they are numerous and varied. The definitions of art and design are ever expanding, and the boundaries between media and disciplines have diminished. Employers list ‘creativity’ as one of the single most important aspects of a good employee, and MIAD graduates are creative to the core.

The services include exploring skills and interests, career planning, occupational decision making, the transition from education to work, job search training, internships, and employment opportunities.
