[Cranbrook Academy of Art](https://bit.ly/4mXCUIz?ref=hyperallergic.com) is not just a graduate school — it’s a dynamic community of architects, artists, and designers redefining visual and material culture. Known for decades as the “incubator of mid-century modernism,” Cranbrook has been at the forefront of innovation for nearly a century, producing graduates whose impact far outweighs the Academy’s intimate size.

Founded as an experimental artists’ colony in Michigan, [Cranbrook](https://bit.ly/4n1BhtD?ref=hyperallergic.com) remains true to its roots. Instead of conventional classes and rigid curriculums, you’ll work in close mentorship with faculty and Artists-in-Residence — renowned practitioners actively shaping their fields — while pursuing your own questions, experiments, and ambitions. With time, space, and the support of a diverse and collaborative community, you’ll find the freedom to grow as both an artist and a professional.

Ranked among the United States’s top graduate-only programs in art, architecture, and design, Cranbrook prepares students to enter the industry with confidence. Our community includes up to 150 graduate students across 10 disciplines: Architecture, Ceramics, Fiber, Graphic Design, Industrial Design, Metalsmithing, Painting, Photography, Print Media, and Sculpture.

Accessibility is at the core of our mission. In the current academic year, 97% of Academy students received gift funding. Each year, we award up to 10 full-tuition Gilbert Fellowships to students from diverse backgrounds, alongside more than 50 merit scholarships. Beyond campus, we help students secure residencies, fellowships, and opportunities at leading design studios.
