FYE: First-Year Experience
Nurture your growth
The First-Year Experience (FYE) nurtures your growth and individuality as an artist and designer. It challenges you to ask deeper questions about the nature of visual culture, art, design, technology, media, materials, influences and process.
You’ll dig into creative problem solving in MIAD’s immersive labs. You’ll engage in conversations and critique. You’ll make meaning through experimenting.
You’ll be at the center of your learning.
