As designers and educators, we are often asked to think about how art and design can impact people’s lives now and in the future. Nurturing the creative and skills that are vital to impactful works of art and design lies at the core of the College for Creative Studies (CCS) mission: to prepare students for leadership in the creative design professions, to be responsible citizens in global communities and to make a difference in the world.

With more than 100 years of excellence as a leader in art and design education, CCS continues to be one of the nation’s premier colleges for the creative disciplines.
As a student in one of our undergraduate or graduate studies programs, you will have the potential to address issues of sustainable communities, new modes of mobility, human-technology experiences, innovate product development and much more.

Our classrooms serve as a forum to bring creative minds together for the collaborative exchange of ideas and opportunities in the rapidly changing fields of art and design. And, working in close partnership with industry and educational leaders around the world, our faculty will inspire, teach and prepare students for a successful career.
