Minneapolis College of Art and Design has been recognized by Forbes as a standout institution for its unique Comic Art program, which is helping redefine higher education through niche offerings.

As colleges nationwide face declining enrollment and financial pressures, many are turning to specialized programs to attract students and differentiate themselves. Forbes highlights MCAD’s Comic Art program as a prime example of this trend. The program offers aspiring comic book artists in-depth training in storytelling, illustration, and graphic novel creation—skills highly sought after in the growing graphic arts industry.

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.
