For more than 60 years, the Denver, Colorado-based Rocky Mountain College Of Art + Design has been helping students bring their creative visions to life. Founded in 1963 by local artist Philip J. Steele, RMCAD was designed to effectively nurture artistic talent, inspire critical thinking, and prepare students to make meaningful contributions to the art and design industries and society at large.
Steele’s dream of combining innovation with education lives on today, with RMCAD boasting a massive 23-acre historic campus in Lakewood, Colorado. The institution also has a strong online presence, allowing the college to meet students where they are—whether they prefer the in-person experience or need the convenience of remote learning.
