About the Independent Inquiry Program

The Independent Inquiry Program provides MIAD students the opportunity to receive philanthropically sourced funding while investigating how artists and designers can use emerging technology in ways not currently employed in MIAD’s curriculum.

The rate of profound technological developments which affect art and design is accelerating.  It is difficult for a traditional undergraduate curriculum to effectively adapt to these developments without additional support.  We are also seeing increasing demand for graduates that can adeptly identify and use transformational technologies as they emerge. This program serves as support for the college and its students to meet both those needs, helping the college and its graduates be recognized as forward-thinking, constantly relevant, and highly adaptable.

This program is available to all MIAD degree students, regardless of year or major.
