All applicants to Miami International University of Art & Design must demonstrate proof of high school graduation or its equivalent prior to receiving final acceptance. Official or unofficial copies of transcripts are acceptable, and can be faxed directly to Miami International University of Art & Design from the school attended. All transcripts or copies of transcripts must show grades for all years of high school attended, date of graduation, and grade point average. Documentation of high school equivalency requirements or GED must show scores that prove satisfactory completion. An applicant still attending high school will be considered for early acceptance, contingent upon proof of graduation.
Transfer students who submit official college transcripts do not need to show proof of graduation. Additionally, students who have completed an associate’s degree or higher are exempt from demonstrating proof of high school graduation, provided, however, that the school or campus can prove that the associate’s degree was an academic degree fully transferable to a bachelor’s degree.
Applicants will also be interviewed, either in person or by telephone, to explore background and related interests in correlation with the program offerings. In addition, applicants must independently conceive and write an essay approximately 150 words in length on how they expect their education at Miami International University of Art & Design to help them attain their career goals.
Each applicant’s academic transcript and completed essay will be evaluated by the Admissions Acceptance Committee. The committee determines the compatibility of the applicant with the programs at Miami International University of Art & Design and ultimately makes the final decision regarding acceptance to Miami International University of Art & Design.
The committee reserves the right to request additional records of accomplishments in core academic courses and/or the results of any nationally-based exam such as the SAT or ACT prior to making this decision.
A separate Application for Admission and Enrollment Agreement form must be completed and signed by the applicant and his/her parent or guardian (if the applicant is a minor). The forms must then be submitted to The Miami International University of Art & Design with $150.00 ($50.00 application fee and $100.00 enrollment fee) for processing.
Although a visit to Miami International University of Art & Design is not a requirement for submitting an application form and enrollment agreement for acceptance, prospective students are encouraged to schedule an interview with one of our admissions representatives to discuss special needs, long-term or short-term goals, and lifelong career aspirations.
