Our Mission
As the entire communications industry is in the midst of the most profound transformation in consumers’ relationship with media, the mission of Miami Ad School is to train the creative thinkers of the future before the future has happened; to engineer pop culture with creative insight and strategic thinking from a global perspective. Students learn to solve problems with whatever discipline, channel, skill or craft necessary, using new and emerging media as well as traditional media.
Popular Questions
Our students are like snowflakes, no two are alike. Are you a lawyer who is bursting with creativity and needs to get out of that large law firm? Did you just graduate with a 4-year degree and realize that you really need a portfolio to get your dream job? Have you always been creative and wanted a career rather than be a starving artist? Then this school is for you!
Our portfolio programs are designed to prepare you to be a creative with skills that are broad and appropriate. Although you only have time to study one track in your two years here, you will get a lot of cross pollination. Copywriters take Adobe Creative Suite. Art directors take a writing course. You will be well prepared no matter which major you choose!
Portfolio Programs:
- Art Direction – 2 years (8 quarters)
- Copywriting – 2 years (8 quarters)
Master’s Degree:
- Master of Science degree in Mass Communication awarded by Florida International University (FIU) in Miami, Florida – 19 months (6 quarters at MAS – 5 semesters at FIU concurrent)
Apply to the one Miami Ad School location you’re most interested in. As a domestic student, if you change your mind later and want to attend a different location, your acceptance is transferable. You will only need to fill out the enrollment form for that new location and pay the corresponding tuition rate.
Unfortunately, international students are currently unable to transfer locations due to USCIS rules.
Our programs start 3 times a year: in January, April and October. Applications close a few months before.
Choose the schedule that works best for you. No matter when you opt to start your education, the lessons you learn will be the same.
For Master’s and Portfolio programs at Miami Ad School, there are two steps to submit your application:
