Ferris State University’s Kendall College of Art and Design offers a world-class art and design education complemented by university resources and support systems. And while Ferris State is known for its career-oriented majors, at KCAD you’ll find that the career-oriented and the creative intersect in powerful ways.
KCAD’s immersive creative learning environment offers a wide range of specialized degree programs in design, fine art, and art history. Students in these programs receive a quality Ferris State education while getting the expert instruction and personalized support they need to transform their creativity into a marketable skill set — and from there, a dynamic career.
In the heart of downtown Grand Rapids on a resource-rich campus, KCAD students’ educational experiences are more hands-on than those typically found in creative degree programs within other larger universities.
