Why CIA?
World-Class Faculty CIA faculty are successful artists, designers, writers, and teachers, many of whom hold terminal degrees in their disciplines. You’re learning from faculty who know how to succeed as artists and designers and who instill their best practices into your personal path for success.
8:1 Student to Faculty Ratio Learn in a studio or classroom, not a lecture hall. We keep class sizes small so that you can interact with peers and professors daily. Faculty come to you, visiting your studio space and instructing one-onone. This personal attention builds a mentorship-apprenticeship model unlike any other art and design school in the country.
Successful Alumni What better measure of success than moving on in your career after graduation? More than 90% of our recent grads are working in their field or accepted into a graduate program. Employers and gallery owners seek out CIA graduates specifically because of their superior mastery of technique and strong creative problemsolving abilities.
Urban Cultural Hub You have to see our campus to believe it. CIA students benefit from a neighborhood known as University Circle, that sits in the heart of Cleveland’s cultural district with a unique mix of students and professionals from renowned educational, cultural, and healthcare institutions. We’re a creative community of 500 students on an energetic urban campus of more than 8,000 students from surrounding colleges.
Your Own Studio All students in their majors receive personal studio space: another factor that’s unique to CIA. Once you declare your major (in your sophomore year) you move right into your studio, next to your peers and all the tools, technology, and resources for creative work. Just clean it out when you graduate!

Why are CIA students so successful?
The Cleveland Institute of Art is a small school that delivers big results. Our size provides the access to faculty that you will not find in any other academic setting. And our faculty build their curriculum on CIA’s unbeatable academic formula: Cores + Connections.
1. Core Learn from the masters
8
2. Core+ Signature curriculum
3. Connections Real-life experience
At CIA, you’ll work with world class faculty in an engaging learning environment, and then spend thousands of hours thinking and applying new ideas in your own studio and production space.
We teach and mentor our students to attain a mastery of problem solving, which includes critical thinking, a professional base of knowledge and hands-on skills and craftsmanship.
CIA has cultivated a broad network of working relationships that are designed to benefit you through internships, strategic partnerships and job placement opportunities.
For inspiration, you’ll hang out in University Circle and enjoy an incredible wealth of art and culture. You’ll also be encouraged to respect and engage in open dialogue, and explore the diversity of artistic and intellectual expression. As a creative person, you’ll translate that information into new ideas that advance our culture and community.
Starting out in CIA’s rigorous foundation program, you’ll gain a broad understanding of theory and media, and then progress to your major discipline. In addition to a strong depth and breadth of study in your field of excellence, the interdisciplinary curriculum includes courses in other majors, and a strong dose of liberal arts.
Over 80% of CIA students take part in internships, which provide real-life experience in your field of study. When it’s time to graduate and get a job, CIA’s career center helps advise and place you in the workforce, often working closely with faculty members and their contacts in the field.
Posing with CIA President Grafton Nunes, graduating seniors hold up their traveling scholarships, which are awarded annually and allow for continued personal study.

CIA Faculty
Learn from the best Your professors will help define the artist or designer you become. That’s why it’s important to learn from the best. In addition to being professional educators, CIA faculty maintain thriving practices and exhibition schedules. In addition, each year our faculty are accepted into some of the most presti-
14
gious national and international residency programs. What they gain from the residencies and professional experiences finds its way back into the classroom. They are determined to provide each of their students with the tools, techniques, and perspective to launch into a rewarding life as an artist or designer.

Foundation
CIA’s Foundation program will introduce you to the forms, methods, media, and concepts crucial to your future academic and professional success.
All first-year students take a full year of Foundation courses where they develop and strengthen the fundamentals that support each year of study throughout the Institute’s curriculum. Be prepared for lively debates and the camaraderie that develops as you and your peers work together in studio. Through a charette format, the foundation experience fosters a learning environment that is responsive to your aspirations, as well as to innovations in the world of art and design.
iPads for all CIA Freshmen
At CIA we value creative collaboration, especially in our firstyear Foundation classrooms. For that reason we issue an iPad to each freshman to use and keep. With this technology you’ll build a digital hub of concepts, ideas, and research. This allows you to engage classmates and your professors in real-time critiques and full-scale projects right on the tablet, right in the classroom. Creative collaboration builds the essential team skills and a solution-driven approach to art 16 and design that you’ll need in a successful professional career.
You’ll begin with core courses in drawing, design, color, and digital studies that introduce you to color, composition, drawing principles, and 2D and 3D materials and processes. Digital courses and fabrication safety labs build confidence in your ability to create. As you work on studio projects you’ll investigate visual dynamics, creative processes, and issues that inform contemporary art, design, and culture. In addition we present issues of self-exploration and audience
perspective through a series of charettes (collaborative work in small groups). To help guide the transition from Foundation studies into the majors, you’ll also have the opportunity to take an elective class in order to explore various disciplines in the arts, crafts, design, and media areas. The elective provides exposure to help you make an informed choice about your major and your future career path.

Liberal Arts
Our Liberal Arts curriculum is designed to develop your understanding of many cultures of our world—both past and present—and discover the importance of these ideas to the growth of your creative life. Your four years at CIA include study in the humanities and sciences.
A singular feature of the Institute’s Liberal Arts curriculum is our approach to studying a subject by connecting it to other disciplines in our program. For example, in your freshman year at CIA, you will read in your English classes about ancient and medieval philosophy and culture while also taking a course in Ancient and Medieval History of Art. This carefully calibrated educational experience creates a comprehensive perspective on a subject that will give you a broad sense of the trajectory of world history itself. The reading and writing that we assign is crucial to the development of your own artistic ideas. In addition, you will complete rigorous assignments requiring writing
and research across your degree curriculum, and these will enable you to convey strongly a point of view informed by the world’s diverse communities. Visual Culture Emphasis In the Visual Culture Emphasis you’ll study 18 credits of designated Liberal Arts classes in addition to the Foundation Liberal Arts requirements. You’ll become a stronger writer and communicator as your studies help you reflect on how art and design are informed by concept, theory, and history. Areas of study include new media and film; non-Western and folk art; contemporary issues in art and design; art criticism; popular and mass culture; philosophy and aesthetics; and critical theory and methods of analysis.
Creative Writing Concentration If you are an artist or designer who also has been writing stories, graphic novels, and poems, our Creative Writing Concentration can keep you on track to grow as a creative writer—while you become a stronger visual communicator. Or if you plan a career that benefits from excellent writing skills, this Concentration allows you to work on your writing while you pursue your studio degree. The Creative Writing Concentration is comprised of 12 total credit hours (4 courses), taken in Liberal Arts. As a final requirement of the Concentration you’ll create a body of written work.

Animation
Animation is a medium that breathes life into concept through movement. As an animation student you’ll discover how the dialogue of an otherwise stagnant image or object changes and evolves when put to motion.
Our faculty will keep you on the cutting edge as you work with innovative production technologies in 2D and 3D digital media and animation, film, video production, and stop-motion animation. You’ll intensify your skills in character and set construction through a broad scope of tactile sculpture media. CIA’s Animation curriculum focuses on sequential narrative storytelling, conceptual development, methods of animation (2D, 3D, hand drawn, stop motion, composite), framing and staging, storyboarding, animatics, layers, and motion and figure studies. You’ll learn to put personality into movement through concentrated study of the mechanics of human and animal motion. Life drawing and acting help develop original
characters in design, movement, and personality. You’ll work with resources that include all major animation, video, editing, and compositing programs standard for industry, along with traditional animation drafting light tables, a video pencil test system, stop-motion Lunchbox capture system, green screen, chroma-key studio area, two separate lighting and shooting spaces, and a sound recording studio. Each year you’ll have several opportunities to show your work—to the CIA community and to industry and fine arts professionals. In addition, we strongly emphasize presentation and public speaking skills that prepare you for pitching your ideas and directing a team.

Drawing
As a student in CIA’s Drawing major, you’ll use traditional and nontraditional materials as well as unconventional tools to define your aesthetic identity, as well as challenge your artistic vision and resourcefulness.
The Drawing curriculum begins with the investigation of the field and its historical framework. You’ll master a visual vocabulary that includes scale, proportion, perspective, composition, line, mass, and modeling while exploring traditional and nontraditional tools, materials, and techniques. You’ll form a research process and the development of source material. Then we’ll begin to focus on communication through drawing, which includes drawing from observation, ideation, and experimental processes. Next you’ll focus on style and aesthetics and parallel theories
to your own body of work. And you’ll begin to understand drawing in the cultural frameworks of pop, common, and high culture. In your final thesis project you’ll work through research, ideation, experimentation, evaluation, reflection, refinement, and production. In our professional practices program you’ll develop small business knowledge that will empower you to set up your professional studio. You’ll create a professional portfolio and develop grant writing skills. And you’ll learn the appropriate communications skills neces-
sary for successfully approaching dealers, curators, and collectors. In the spring you have an opportunity to travel to New York, where you’ll experience first-hand professional galleries and exhibitions such as the Whitney Biennial and the Armory Show. The Drawing curriculum culminates with a BFA exhibition that consists not only of presenting a body of work, but also an oral defense and a written artist statement.

Glass
As a student in the Glass department, your basic training will center around three processes: working hot glass (glass blowing and off hand, molten glass processes), working cold glass (cutting, fabricating, grinding, sandblasting, and polishing), and fusion processes (casting, slumping, and bending). As you move into higher-level courses, you’ll take on independent study and research that is individually tailored to your developing voice. In core studio courses you’ll work closely with faculty in ceramics, jewelry + metals, and enamel. These cross-disciplinary courses offer an environment of diverse skill building, experimentation, and discovery. While working in traditional methods of design and craftsmanship CIA glass professors also experiment with new forms
32
of expression. This commitment to the art form has earned them national and international recognition. We have one of the bestequipped undergraduate glass studios in the country. Our student-run facility promotes teamwork and teaches the responsibilities of everyday glass studio operation. The well-ventilated, three-station hot glass area features furnaces for melting both clear and colored glasses, benches and tools for working hot glass,
and large annealing ovens. An adjacent area holds more computer-controlled ovens for casting, slumping, and special forming projects. The cold glass facility is equally well furnished with great lighting, diamond saws, lapping wheels, German and Czech engraving/cutting lathes, polishing lathes, and assorted hand tools for grinding and polishing. Lampworking also has a designated space to complement the other complex glass-working processes.
Careers
Our aim is for each student to become a practitioner in the medium. Graduates often enter positions with other artists/ craftsmen, schools and workshops, apprenticeships and internships, and are highly competitive when applying for graduate study. Students from our program have become leaders in the field as teachers in university programs, practicing designers, and of course, artists/craftsmen.

You’ll learn how to envision thoughts, conceptualize ideas, and express these ideas through imagery. We focus on educating our students to communicate by creatively manipulating image and text within analog and digital environments.
Working in a wide variety of applications—from sequential storytelling to advertising to editorial and print illustration, you’ll address the visual transmission of meaning and discover the intellectual rewards in the images you create. We will challenge you to master the technical skills required by a wide range of materials and techniques—from the traditional media of pencils, acrylics, oils, and inks, to contemporary collage, photographic, and digital processes.
36
CIA’s Illustration studies cover some diverse areas: presenting ideas, conveying emotions, illuminating text, and creating narrative without text. Problem solving remains a core objective for the illustrator. A solution to any problem must be rooted in the deepest respect for the meaning of your activities and the potential impact of your work on the immediate and greater culture.
You’ll draw inspiration from field trips to professional art studios and advertising agencies, as well as from interaction with a steady flow of visiting artists. At the end of each year employers, illustrators, and designers are invited to the Institute to review portfolios and share experiences with students.

Jewelry+Metals
In CIA’s Jewelry + Metals major, you’ll work with both traditional and contemporary metalsmithing processes to grow as an artist of decorative and functional art—including jewelry, fashion, utilitarian, and small-scale sculptural objects. A thorough understanding of techniques and materials is fundamental to your development as an artist.
After learning the fundamentals, you’ll broaden your experience through more advanced uses of materials and techniques including forming and fabrication, lost-wax casting, electroforming, anodizing, sophisticated “stone” setting, working with mechanisms, mixed media, and machining. Woven throughout our curriculum is coursework in the history of the field and the contemporary attitudes and ideas affecting the making of wearables and objects within our culture.
Our fully equipped studio enables you to master advanced techniques. Faculty provide individual attention and are committed to teaching you the latest in jewelry and metalwork, including 3D modeling, CAD/CAM, and rapid prototyping—a technology that turns your CAD/CAM design into a three-dimensional scale model.
cross-disciplinary courses offer an environment of diverse skill building, experimentation, and discovery. In addition to studio subjects, professional practices are addressed in every class. Some of our graduates have worked with famous designers such as Isaac Mizrahi, Trina Tarantino, Vera Wang, and Alexis Bittar.
Core studio courses in this major present you with an opportunity to work closely with faculty in Glass and Ceramics. These

Painting
The Painting department at the Cleveland Institute of Art has a long history of producing successful alumni. Our faculty will guide your work through individual and group studio critiques, workshops, seminars, and courses on special topics.
In this major you’ll experience a wide range of approaches to abstract and figural painting as well as alternative media and installation. We present a solid grounding in technical skills, art criticism, and theory, as well as contemporary practices in the visual arts. Our faculty of professional artists will guide your work through individual and group studio critiques, workshops, seminars, and courses in special topics. Once you have received a firm grounding in the technical and conceptual aspects of painting you’ll begin to
44
develop a personal body of work and an imaginative approach to problem solving. Your knowledge and experience will be enriched as you pursue collaborations and shared coursework in the other disciplines. In the spring you have an opportunity to travel to New York during an annual trip where you’ll experience first-hand professional galleries and exhibitions such as the Whitney Biennial and the Armory Show. In our Professional Practices program you’ll develop entrepreneurial skills, a
professional portfolio, grant-writing skills, and the skills to approach dealers, curators, and collectors. Painting students have generous individual studio space and a well-equipped workshop, all within the sky-lit, factory loft space. The Painting curriculum culminates with a BFA exhibition that consists not only of presenting a body of selfinitiated work, but also an oral defense and a written artist statement.

Photography
The unique opportunities we offer in our Photography major will give you a creative advantage in shaping your career and help you launch your dream profession. You’ll develop a deep knowledge of the medium through a curriculum steeped in the traditional methods of photography—film and chemistry. CIA students work with professional imaging equipment, formats of digital and film cameras, studio lighting, and digital manipulation and enhancement. Your study of still and moving imagery will include exposure to film and video, digital editing, current rip printing software, and special effects. All students work in their own individual studio space and have access to exhibition areas.
We encourage students to participate in exchange programs, international mobility studies, and internships with professional artists and photographers. All CIA students take Professional Practices courses to develop those skills for a successful career. We also bring in professional journalists, critics, writers, collectors, curators, museum and gallery directors to meet with you. CIA’s Photography department operates in spacious facilities equipped with film-based color and black-and-white dark-
rooms, a full-featured digital imaging and printing lab, and both video and 16mm film editing and computing facilities. You’ll work in state-of-the-art lighting studios with a large Light Side Lighting Studio, which is 898 square feet with 12-foot ceilings and a curtain system for light control. Additional equipment also available to you includes color and black-andwhite enlargers, medium- and large-format cameras, color management software, and black-and-white dip-and-dunk film processing.

Printmaking Printmaking is an approach to image making that embraces, utilizes, and challenges technology from relief printing to online distribution of digital products. As a print student you will develop a broad base of knowledge of various print mediums, including traditional intaglio, lithography, and relief printing, as well as digital media applications.
As you grow in the major, so too will your ability to produce distinct impressions and multiples, from hand-printed limited editions to unlimited digital ones. Within the Printmaking space, we’ve created a professional studio setting of more than 4,000 square feet. You’ll have access to numerous etching and lithography presses, as well as book arts and letterpress facilities. Through our required studio courses you’ll develop a comprehensive approach to understanding,
48
defining, making, and questioning your practice of printmaking. You’ll work with a committed group of faculty who are practicing artists widely respected for their knowledge and achievements, including a master printer. They will work with you to hone your skills and define your personal direction. Printmaking students share in an integrated curriculum that provides a broad knowledge in the visual arts while strengthening in-depth conceptual
knowledge of the Printmaking discipline. In the spring you have an opportunity to travel to New York during an annual trip, where you’ll experience firsthand professional galleries and exhibitions such as the Whitney Biennial and the Armory Show. In our Professional Practices program you’ll develop a professional portfolio, grant-writing skills, and the skill necessary to successfully approach dealers, curators, and collectors.

Sculpture
No longer confined to the pedestal, the field of sculpture now encompasses myriad modern approaches. As a sculpture student you’ll craft traditional object-based work as well as installations, performance pieces, public art, social interventions, site-specific works, and earthworks. You’ll receive instruction from a faculty of professional artists with diverse approaches to art making, who are committed to mentoring their students. Beginning-level courses in Sculpture establish a critical foundation of sculptural design and studio skills. These will include mold making, foundry casting, forging, wood and metal fabrication, and more. Guided by faculty advisors who provide one-on-one instruction and guidance, Sculpture majors are often able to work directly with other studio areas within
crafts, design, and media technologies. You’ll have many opportunities to pursue collaborations and shared coursework in the other disciplines, which will give you a chance to experiment with various modes of presentation including installation, performance, and site-specific work. In addition, you’ll have access to CIA sponsored Artists-In-Residence, who are at the top of their field. In the spring you have an opportunity to travel to New York during an
annual trip, where you’ll experience first hand professional galleries and exhibitions such as the Whitney Biennial and the Armory Show. In addition we will introduce you to new technologies in visualization, design, and execution of sculptural work. Sculpture is housed on the second floor of the Joseph McCullough Center for the Visual Arts with extensive wood and metal working capabilities, and a newly installed coldcasting facility.

TIME–Digital Arts
Take your creative mind to a new level as you work at the intersection of social media, culture, technology, and the studio arts. In our TIME–Digital Arts major we encourage you to experiment through hybridized projects that incorporate video, interactive web, photography, and animation technologies.
In the TIME–Digital Arts major you will develop custom media tools, learn to research, experiment, create prototypes of projects, produce, and document the process and final outcome. You’ll also build your ability to master interactive forms of media including live media, performance, and linear media.

52
ments. You’ll be able to conceive, plan, and program your own software-based artwork. Faculty will guide you through an important foundation in research, critical thinking, and problem solving. You’ll also explore the impact your work will have in social, ethical, and cultural contexts, including developing the strategies of integrating social activism with media art. At CIA you’ll work in our state-of-the-art computer
labs and with the latest equipment for digital video, lighting, and sound. Your projects will look professionally produced with the help of a motion capture system, a green-screen Chroma Key studio area, two separate lighting and shooting spaces, and a sound recording studio. Each year you’ll have several opportunities to show your work to the CIA community and to industry and fine arts professionals.

How to build and submit your portfolio
Your portfolio is the cornerstone of your application to the Cleveland Institute of Art and is a significant part of the admission decision. Our Admissions Committee will evaluate your portfolio to assess your technical abilities, conceptual problem-solving skills, and use of your chosen media. You’ve spent a long time preparing for this moment and the following guidelines will help you to create a portfolio that best reflects your work.
Portfolio Review Before you apply, you can schedule an appointment with one of our Admissions Counselors for a preliminary portfolio review. An optional campus visit and appointment with one of our counselors can provide feedback on your current work and guide you as you work toward your best possible portfolio. Building Your Portfolio Your portfolio should include no fewer than 12 and no more than 20 pieces of your original artwork. Please do not send more than 20 pieces. This number will give us enough information to make an accurate assessment of your abilities. At least four of those pieces must be drawings (observational drawings are highly recommended, sketchbook work is encouraged). 58 800.223.4700 • admissions@cia.edu • cia.edu/admissions
Observational drawings can include still life, gesture, figure drawings, portraits, and landscapes. We encourage you to feature your strongest pieces made in your junior and senior years. Portfolio pieces can take many forms including (but not limited to) drawings, paintings, prints, photographs, sculptures, mixed media, found-object pieces, computer-generated works, illustrations, animations, and clay, metal, or glass objects. Determining a Sequence The order in which you present your work can have a significant effect on your portfolio review, therefore we suggest you end your presentation with your strongest piece. Relationships in color, media, composition, and concept can link one piece to another and help your
portfolio flow cohesively. Source Material Make an effort not to include work copied from photographs or other published works. These generally do not make strong portfolio pieces. If you use source photos, try not to use them as the sole inspiration for your work.
CD or DVD Portfolio Submission Procedure
• Individual files should be in JPEG (jpg) format with a file size not exceeding 1MB each. • Animation or video work must be submitted in either QuickTime (.mov) format or Windows Media Video (.wmv) format. • It is preferable that images be assembled and presented in a slide show format, using PowerPoint, Acrobat, or another slide show application. • Please submit a numbered list in Microsoft Word on the disc with the title, size, medium, and a brief description of each piece. • Please do not stick any labels to the front of the disc; mark directly upon it with permanent marker.
Photographing Your Portfolio
Go to http://cia.edu/admissions/ apply/submitting-your-portfolio to learn how to photograph your 2D and 3D work.
Make sure to label disc and sleeve with the following: • Applicant’s full name • Home address • Phone number • Email address
Submitting Your Portfolio Your portfolio must be submitted online, or in CD or DVD format. If you choose to submit your portfolio online, we will send you online instructions once you start your application process with us. We do not accept actual artwork of any kind.

Financing your education
Your education is an investment in your future as an artist/designer, and when you enroll at the Cleveland Institute of Art, you’re getting the very best education.
Financial Aid Our Office of Financial Aid is committed to helping you find ways to close the gap between the cost of attending CIA and your ability to fund your education. As you begin to make important choices, please keep in mind: 98% of CIA students receive financial assistance. We work with you to craft a personalized financial aid package that combines grants, scholarships, loans, and work study. Sources of this funding include CIA, federal, state, and private programs. Once you have received an acceptance letter from CIA you may be eligible for federal and state financial aid if you: • are a U.S. citizen • have a high school diploma or general equivalency credentials (the GED) • have registered for the draft if you are a male between the ages of 18 and 26 (see sss.gov) • maintain satisfactory academic progress • complete the 2013–14 Free Application for Federal Student Assistance (FAFSA) 60 800.223.4700 • admissions@cia.edu • cia.edu/admissions
If you are a U.S. service member or veteran who qualifies for Post-9/11 GI Bill funds, CIA offers a significant amount of matching funds through the Yellow Ribbon Program. For details, contact us or visit gibill. va.gov. 2012-2013 Financial Data • 90% of our accepted students for the 2012-13 academic year received a CIA Merit Scholarship. • 52% of of these accepted students have received a Merit Scholarship of $15,000 or more. • The average financial aid package for students new to CIA this fall is $24,685. • Nearly 90% of the CIA graduating class each year get a job in their chosen field or are accepted to a graduate school of their choice. • The U.S. Department of Education publishes a loan repayment default rate for all colleges each year. CIA’s most recent cohort default rate is 0.7%. That is well below the national cohort default rate which is 8.8%. This is a strong indication that CIA graduates are well employed and able to pay back their loans.
Determining Your Need-Based Eligibility CIA awards your financial aid package according to your need-based eligibility, which is calculated by subtracting your expected family contribution (EFC) from your cost of attendance (COA). Before, you can receive your financial aid award letter, you must be accepted for admission. Make sure you have submitted all required information to the Admissions Office by their March 1 priority deadline. Our review process for financial aid will begin once we receive one important piece of information: • FAFSA Results: the results of your 2013–14 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), a federally administered application found at fafsa.gov. CIA’s FAFSA code is 003982. The priority deadline to submit the FAFSA is no later than March 1, 2013. The FAFSA process is based on a standard formula established by Congress and is used as a measure of your family’s financial
strength. Because your award is based on your EFC and the date your FAFSA is processed, it is important to complete the FAFSA as soon as possible. Resources for Additional Tuition Support CIA–funded financial aid is just one avenue of support that you can apply to your overall tuition costs. You can pursue funding through private scholarships, state and federally funded financial aid programs, and private education loan programs. A list of those opportunities are below; check our website for details. • CIA Merit Scholarships • External Scholarships • Ohio College Opportunity Grant • Federal Pell Grant • Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant • CIA Grants • William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan • William D. Ford Federal Direct PLUS Loan
