"I commited so much to the school, and graduated with such a strong portfolio, I was actually hired straight into a senior design role, coming right out of MAS with no formal work experience. It changed my life.”
- Jordan Chopra

We've been named Cannes Lions School of the Year 6 times (more than any other school). Every year, at the ADDYs, at the CLIOs, the Lions, the bears, the tigers...what were we saying?
Just this: our students take home the most awards. Because they're the best prepared to win.
“Your brand is what people say about you when you’re not in the room.”

Every business, NGO, team, and group has a brand. It's about reputation.
And today, it's the fundamental lifeblood of a good business.
That's why companies are hiring designers by the boatload. They're the future (and present) of modern business. They work where product, graphics, and customer experience meet, to craft an image that resonates with the world.
Every customer interaction is a touchpoint, where the company's reputation is at stake. Great interactions build a great reputation—and a strong, valuable brand.
It's why Apple spends billions on perfect packaging.
How Liquid Death built an empire on repackaged water.
And what separates commodities sold for pennies on Amazon, from businesses like...well, Amazon.
"A brand is the set of expectations, memories, stories, and relationships that, taken together, account for a consumer's decision to choose one product or service over another."

Creatives thrive on an eclectic mix of inspiration—diverse input tends to lead to incredible output.
That’s a good description of what we’ve built in Miami. Not a melting pot—a tossed salad of languages, skin color, customs, politics, history, music, design and art. Our school reflects the swirling culture of the city around it: Little Havana, Little Haiti, Little Argentina, Little Venezuela; Little Mexico, Little Russia and neighborhoods of all colors.
Where you look is where you go. That’s why we teach students to focus on the right stuff, the creative possibilities. Inside our walls, you’ll learn to create magic from the ordinary. You’ll learn to think in new ways.
Here, something is always happening: workshops, design events, and stand-up comedy nights. It’s a creative playground, designed from the ground up to inspire people like you…and push them to go beyond their preconceived barriers.
On first arrival, our students traditionally look around and wonder, ”is this really a school?”
It is, and it’s where you become who you’re meant to be.
Tuition of $4,850 is due quarterly. It takes eight quarters which is 2 years to complete the design program. Total tuition cost for the program is $38,800.
We strive to make Miami Ad School affordable for students of all backgrounds. For our U.S. students, federal loans can often cover some or all of tuition costs. We also offer a variety of scholarships.
Students come to us from every corner of the world. You’ll likely be able to attend the campus of your choice. Click for more about the visa process.
