MCAD MFA has several resources to support students and alumni interested in teaching. The recently created, Teaching Art and Design Online Certificate (3 credits) each fall through MCAD Continuing Education is very popular and counts as one of our MFA electives. Additionally, MFA alumni can take Continuing Education classes for just $25 each (call to be put on the space-available waiting list: 612-874-3765).

We also offer the Teaching in Higher Ed Seminar (3 credits) as an MFA elective each spring. Further, MFA students are welcome to be Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) with up to four different faculty’s classes during their time in the program.

We caught up with some of our MFA alums who are engaging their careers in classrooms, from K-12 to Higher Ed, art centers, museums, and beyond!
