Classes and homework are key aspects of being a college student, but what happens outside of the classroom is equally important. For many students, MCAD represents the first taste of independent living, as well as getting to know a new city and culture. MCAD faculty and staff are here to assist you on this journey; which is why we’ve created this list of resources for in and outside of the classroom.

Discover more about life at MCAD, from housing and dining to the many ways to get involved within the creative community.

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.

It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, ancestry, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, or marital status in the administration of its educational policies, scholarship and loan programs, and other school-administered programs.
