Minneapolis College of Art and Design Reviews

"I really enjoyed my time at MCAD! They have so many resources, and I was very happy to be able to use those on campus. While I was an illustration major, I really enjoyed taking Print Paper Book classes and using the print shop. The only thing I really wish happened more was more career and business education -- it was a real issue when I got out of school. I learned more about being an artist than being a *working* artist at MCAD."

"review possible mentors before deciding, the quality of your mentor will determine how your MFA goes, as this program relies heavily on that relationship."

"So far MCAD's MFA Sustainable Design Program has been enjoyable and beneficial to my career aspirations. While I'd prefer to be on campus, they have made it very easy to learn online."

"MCAD's filmmaking program is hard to review because, with technology, it changes year after year. The education is continually changing to be tailored towards the advances in film that happen every day. Throughout my 4 years I was educated in 16mm filmmaking, traditional "Hollywood style" that focused mainly on commercial production, and I even saw the transition back to teaching independent, freelance filmmaking as an art form more than a commercial career. MCAD's media department and instructors do an amazing job of keeping students up-to-date with the changes in the filmmaking industry, while keeping the spirit alive and teaching students everything they need to know to find their own path in filmmaking.Read Less"

"As a grad student at Mcad you have to be willing and able to push yourself beyond your usual expectations of yourself."

"The mentor mentee structure in the grad program is fantastic so long as you pick a mentor that is a good fit for your practice."
