While Detroit offers all the advantages you would expect from a big city, it is unique in many ways. For one, it’s affordable. The city is also one of the largest markets in the country for advertising, industrial design and publishing – which means students have access to internships, jobs, and faculty mentors who are active in their fields. Ultimately, Detroit has been known for making things – this combination of craftsmanship and technology make it a perfect place for an art and design school.
