Student & Alumni Comments

"Miami International University of Art & Design provides many opportunities for students to master their craft. Not to mention we had exclusive opportunities to assist with fashion shows in Miami; For example, I assisted in the Donna Karan show, Versace, Isabel Toledo, Miami Swim Week, and many more."

Student

"Since commencing MIU my experience has been amazing. The environment is conducive to spawning creativity and ideas. There are so many opportunities to work industry related events. The access to top tier quality faculty is second to none. Students also have the opportunity to help out with Swim Week!"

Student

"In terms of fashion design: The faculty is great, teachers have fantastic experience, with many of them currently working in the industry. The technological equipment as well as laboratories are sufficiently updated and accessible. Administration of the school (admissions, finance etc.) is a not helpful enough. I believe that the number of employees working in the offices is sufficient, but accessiblity to help feels limited."
