Cityscape in Germany

Bauhaus-Universität Weimar offers students the chance to work in an innovative, interdisciplinary, and project-oriented environment.

Germany is a country full of beautiful forests, rivers, and mountains. Weimar is known as the birthplace of the Bauhaus movement and is home to many famous creative writers, artists, composers, and architects. It is a small historical city about one hour by train from Berlin.

“The Bauhaus program is one the best opportunities MCAD has offered me. I surprised myself by how strong I am, and I gained a whole lot of self-worth and that is so valuable as an artist.” –Bridget Krohlow '16

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.
