Invest in Your Future

The multidisciplinary skills of MIAD students and graduates are strongly valued by the business and cultural communities in which they live. Take a look at the skills that employers rated most important in the Job Outlook 2013 survey (National Association of Colleges and Employers), and you’ll see a direct correlation with MIAD’s Core Learning Values.

Whether you decide to work for a business or a non-profit organization, or start your own business, the creative skills that you fully develop at MIAD will distinguish you, just as they have long distinguished MIAD alumni.

MIAD students gain real-world experience through collaborative projects and internships with notable business partners and organizations. Here’s what a few local business and cultural leaders say about the continuous demand for MIAD students’ multidisciplinary skills.
