New York Institute of Art and Design Mission Statement
NYIAD’s mission is to empower students to achieve their aspirations through flexible, convenient, affordable, and highly relevant education.
The New York Institute of Art and Design seeks to provide a level of distance education training in the art, technique, and business of design-related courses it offers, using multi-media training materials developed by our staff and faculty, while providing service and support to every student.
We strive to be the leading non-traditional academic institution by developing students’ creative talents and/or exploring new ones. We empower students to achieve self-improvement goals through flexible, convenient, affordable, and highly relevant programs of study. We seek to support different learning styles through a variety of professional media training materials and a student advisor program.With low-cost tuition, flexible payment plans, and a "no-risk" refund policy, it is NYIAD’s goal to offer training in each program to learners worldwide.
Our goal of "Success for Every Student" is also made possible with our well-developed, time-tested multimedia approach to education. Unlike traditional classroom models, our asynchronous distance education courses provide scheduling flexibility that allows students to engage at their own individual pace.
We seek to provide training that allows all students who enroll in one of our programs to improve their skills in their chosen field of study. We recognize that different students enroll with varying levels of experience and creative talent, and we design our instructional materials to take that into account. We measure our success based on several factors: student completion rates, feedback solicited from our students, our graduates, our teachers and our student advisors, as well as regular surveys that are deployed to these groups.
Each student brings experience and talent to their program of study and our principal objective is to help that student develop their skills to the highest level possible.While students complete multiple choice comprehensive exams, assessment of actual work created by the student and submitted in the course's project assignments is the key way that we determine a student's progress. In order to measure the student's progress, each student is assigned to a professional in the field of study who will provide all the evaluations for the student allowing that teacher to develop a sense of the individual student's progress.
NYIAD also provides all students with the support needed to successfully complete their program.
The New York Institute of Art and Design also seeks to make information about the fields where we offer programs more accessible for people who are interested. We provide free content via our website blog posts.
