Unfortunately, College Factual was unable to determine the value ranking of MIAD due to a lack of data.
Averaged across all students — those who receive aid and those who pay full price — a year at MIAD costs about $26,541. Over a standard four-year bachelor's program, that adds up to an estimated $106,164 for the degree.
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| Sticker Price (before aid) | $53,594 / year |
| Net Price (students receiving aid) | $26,541 / year |
| Average Cost (all students) | $26,541 / year |
| Estimated 4-Year Cost | $106,164 |
*The average cost weights the net price paid by aid recipients against the sticker price paid by everyone else. The 4-year figure assumes the standard bachelor's length; your actual time to graduate and price may differ.
There are many ways to lower the cost of a college education. Consider in-state tuition, transfer credits, or finishing your degree faster. Learn more about MIAD net price and the factors that affect it.
What MIAD costs you depends on how much aid you receive, so few students fit perfectly into averages.
*College Factual publishes a single overall value ranking (the All Students row). The cost rows show what each aid group pays toward the same degree.
