At the Cleveland Institute of Art we are dedicated to teaching art and design students in an environment built exclusively for creative thinkers.
Our curriculum is comprehensive with 19 majors that encompass studio art,
design, integrated media, and craft. With small class sizes and a 9:1 student-
to-faculty ratio, our instructors know you by name and are committed to
developing your artistic vision.

Nearly 90 percent of our 2010 graduating class have gone on to work in their field or have been accepted to a graduate program in art or design.
You’ll recognize the dynamic work of our alumni, who have artwork in national
museums and whose designs are produced by Fortune 500 companies—
here’s a small sample.
Our graduates have gone on to great success.

Our neighbors, collaborators, and partners are on the creative edge
of culture, technology, and education—and so are we.
At CIA you’ll live in a mix of urban energy surrounded by University Circle, a
park-like setting that houses the region’s most prestigious cultural, academic,
technology, and healthcare organizations. Our campus offers the experience
of a true artists’ community, one that combines the pace and energy of city
living with the creative inspiration of a close-knit campus environment.
Located just five miles from the heart of downtown Cleveland and the shores of Lake Erie, the Cleveland Institute of Art is in the center of the city’s cultural district.
Living on the North Coast
Living in a creative community
Within two square miles are the world-renowned Cleveland Museum of Art, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland Botanical Garden, the Cleveland Orchestra, and dozens of museums, galleries, and ethnic neighborhoods.
For your first year at CIA, you’ll live on campus with your fellow freshmen
in Taplin Hall. After your first year, you can move off campus to any of
Cleveland’s nearby neighborhoods. You might find an apartment above the
storefronts of Little Italy, built a hundred years ago by Italian artisans and
the location of some of the best Italian restaurants in the city. Little Italy is
also home to a thriving artistic district with many independent galleries.
Or you might commute by bike from Coventry Village, where eclectic shops
and restaurants draw a diverse crowd. Head downtown where you can tour
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, walk the shores of Lake Erie, or cheer on the
Cleveland Browns, Cavaliers, or Indians at their downtown stadiums.
Student life in a creative community
CIA students benefit from the best of both worlds—small class sizes and a neighborhood teeming with college students.
CIA shares our campus with Case Western Reserve University and the
Cleveland Institute of Music, which gives our students an opportunity to
experience an active college environment of more than 8,000 students.
Many CIA students take part in CWRU extracurricular activities including
intramurals, collegiate sports, and clubs. And if you want to study something
we don’t offer, like physics or Japanese, you can take CWRU courses for
no extra charge with permission from our Registrar.

Your own spaceOnce you enter your major in your sophomore year, you will be given
your own studio space to use through graduation. It’s where you’ll
explore and grow outside the classroom and is located near the
resources you’ll need to complete assignments, develop projects,
and create your final BFA exhibition.
CIA faculty are leaders in their fields and have built impressive local, national,
and international partnerships that translate into extraordinary real-world
experiences for their students. Year-round, CIA faculty are Cleveland
residents, highly engaged in the city’s vibrant artistic community—they also
take part in national and international residencies to enrich their art and
design practice.
With a 9:1 student-to-faculty ratio our faculty engage students on an individual level, taking learning around a table and face-to-face rather than to a lecture hall.

CIA’s Environment structure is the centerpiece of this interdisciplinary
approach to an art and design education. We’ve housed our majors under
four key Environments: Craft + Material Culture; Design; Integrated Media;
and Visual Arts + Technologies. Each major in an Environment maintains its
own curriculum, while the Environment philosophy weaves throughout each
major—offering dynamic opportunities to collaborate with faculty and
students from other majors, share resources, and apply new skills.
Drawing
As a student at the Cleveland Institute of Art we believe that you’ll grow creatively and technically through a depth of experience in your major, combined with a breadth of experience in other majors that complement your studies.

During the first year Foundation program at CIA you’ll develop advanced skills in
drawing, design, and color. In addition, CIA’s Liberal Arts classes are at the core
of our four-year curriculum—giving you opportunities each semester to build
vital communications skills and develop an essential understanding of literature,
history, and social sciences.
Foundation and liberal arts
Our Foundation program ensures your technical skills and creative problem-solving techniques are on par with your peers.
Our academic partnership with our campus neighbor, Case Western Reserve
University (CWRU), offers the collaborative programs and degree-bearing
coursework that will lead to a master’s degree in art education. Once you
earn your BFA from CIA, you can apply to CWRU to become a licensed visual
arts teacher with only one additional year of study. In this extra year you will
have access to the resources of a comprehensive university as you develop
essential leadership and teaching skills. Through this program, many of
CIA’s students have gone on to become committed, knowledgeable, and
creative professionals in art education.
If you’re interested in taking your art and design talents into a classroom of your own as a K–12 art educator, you can do that here at CIA.
