Thanks to CUW’s decades-running collaboration with the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, students can enroll at Concordia and receive all the benefits of a tight-knit campus community rooted in faith without sacrificing the expertise and industry connections of a MIAD education—plus, they could pay less for the arrangement.


Located just 25 minutes from Mequon, MIAD has been ranked among the top 10 art and design colleges in the country. Students enrolled in the collaborative programs will take a majority of classes right on CUW’s campus and will commute to MIAD for their remaining 18+ credits, typically starting their sophomore year.
