Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, Wisconsin
 The Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design (MIAD) is an accredited college providing Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees in the fields of Communication Design, Drawing, Illustration, Industrial Design, Integrated Fine Arts Studio, Interior Architecture + Design, Painting, Photography, Printmaking, Sculpture and Time-Based Media. We prepare students with interest and ability in the visual arts for passage into professional careers.
We are not a trade school. We’re a college that launches professional artists and designers on their personal journeys toward artistic growth and successful, creative lives. We were founded as MIAD in 1974, but formed from the Layton School of Art & Design, which began instruction in 1920. There are, on average, about 600 full-time MIAD students and about 200 staff/faculty. The student/faculty ratio is 16:1. All faculty are working artists, designers, writers and researchers; there are also instructors who are working professionals.
Computer labs offer the most current software and hardware for animation; graphic, industrial, and interior/architectural design; and video editing as well as fine-art imaging. A fully equipped sculpture department, a 3-D lab, extensive printmaking facilities, and digital photography facilities offer artists wide choices and venues for expressing themselves.
