“Top-ranked graduate school devoted exclusively to art, architecture, craft, and design, led by artists-in-residence.”
Cranbrook Academy of Art is a graduate school of architecture, art, and design founded in 1932 by George Gough Booth and Ellen Scripps Booth in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Each of its ten departments is led by a resident artist, architect, or designer who mentors students in a two-year MFA or MArch program. Alumni include Eero Saarinen, Ray and Charles Eames, Daniel Libeskind, and Florence Knoll.
