What Sets the Cleveland Institute of Art Apart? Graduates leave CIA enriched by time spent with clients outside the College and faculty who are practicing artists. You’ll spend four years in state-of-the-art facilities, learning how to think, live, and work as a professional artist or designer. Your learning environments will include classrooms, shared maker spaces, your own studio, and world-class cultural institutions within walking distance in University Circle. And thanks to CIA’s commitment to ensuring career readiness, you will graduate with real-world experience. All of our students earn credit through internships or courses that connect them with projects outside CIA. You’ll begin your creative career equipped with the kind of professional knowledge that comes only through doing.
