The Admissions Office regularly hosts information events for prospective students.


Getting to MCAD

MCAD is located at 2501 Stevens Avenue, just south of downtown Minneapolis, on an arts campus shared with the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Children's Theatre Company. The Admissions Office is located in the center of campus in the Morrison Building.

Short-term visitors may park in front of the Main Building, where the MCAD Gallery is located, to the north of campus. Those with confirmed appointments may use the reserved parking spaces in the gated lot off of 26th Street.
