Join us for this creative-filled day for a visit to the College for Creative Studies and the Detroit Institute of Arts!

For more than a century, CCS has distinguished itself as one of the premier institutions of higher learning in the world. Located in the heart of Detroit’s Innovation District, their veritable force of talent and resources is unrivaled.  CCS provides students a rigorous and innovative education aligned with industry requirements, and their graduates are innovators, problem solvers and futurists who have gone on to become entrepreneurs, working artists, and staff of Fortune 500 companies.

We will depart early in the morning (yes, you may sleep on the way!) and head to CCS for an Open House.  During this time, we’ll take a tour of the campus, engage with other prospective students, and learn about a variety of design majors and careers.  We’ll also have the opportunity to share portfolios with admissions counselors for feedback if desired.  

After visiting CCS, we will visit the Detroit Institute of Arts. In addition to their rotating exhibitions, the DIA has one of the largest and most significant art collections in the United States. With more than 65,000 artworks that date from the earliest civilizations to the present, the museum offers visitors an encounter with human creativity from all over the world. 

We hope to see you there!
