The best way to learn about something is to do it.  Therefore, classes often mimic what you will find on the job.  Presenting new ideas, adhering to deadlines, and working in teams will help you flex your creative muscles.  Miami International University of Art & design students don't just learn about the arts - they design rooms, go on photo shoots, create ad campaigns, construct garments, develop computer animation, and sell original paintings.  They move through their academic programs together, establishing a network and interacting with design students in all disciplines as they complete their coursework and pursue their academic and career aspirations.
