For nearly 90 years, the Cranbrook Academy of Art has remained one of the nation’s most distinctive and celebrated graduate programs, and our students have helped shape the historical and contemporary landscape of art, architecture and design. It is a place for those looking to graduate from their MFA or M.Arch program with a diverse range of options, ranging from working in industry, launching an academic career, or opening a their own studio.

This year, the Academy is hosting a robust series of free online conversations, led by Paul Sacaridiz, new director Maxine and Stuart Frankel of the Cranbrook Academy of Art, to help those considering graduate school.
