Cleveland Institute of Art

The Cleveland Institute of Art is a private, nonprofit college of art and design that has been the training ground for students for more than 140 years. The college was originally opened as the Western Reserve School of Design for Women in 1882.

CIA students have gone on to design international products. Their artwork has been exhibited in major museums and private collections around the world. Audiences and gamers have enjoyed their entertainment media for generations.

With its size, CIA offers a personal educational experience with the benefits of a larger institution. Students live and work in Cleveland's University Circle, one of the country's most unique cultural centers – recently named by Forbes Magazine as one of the ten prettiest communities in the country.
