- Student Right-to-Know
The Student Right-to-Know Act of 1990 requires all post-secondary schools in the country to disclose their graduation rates and other statistics to all prospective and enrolled students. The Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design’s current graduation rate is 66.2%. This rate is based on statistics of students who entered MIAD in the Fall of 2018 as first-year students with no previous college credit. It represents those students who enrolled as full-time students who completed their degree in six years. This rate represents only a portion of MIAD’s graduating population. It does not include part-time students, transfer students or students who started in spring.
MIAD provides additional statistical information on MIAD’s website:

Sincerely,
Mark Fetherston
