For nearly 185 years, top ranked Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) has assembled some the most talented students and faculty from across the nation and around the world in a creatively energized, intellectually stimulating, learning environment. At MICA, artists and designers are reflective visionaries, innovators, entrepreneurs and social activists. Students can uniquely customize their studies in support of creative exploration and career goals by combining a major and minor, adding internships, professional project-based coursework, study abroad, or community-based civic engagement. A professionally active faculty – including artists and designers who are pushing the limits of both traditional and emerging media – offer students at both the undergraduate and graduate level a full range of curricular options. Professional development is embedded in each program of study and supplemented by highly successful services of MICA’s Career Development Center. MICA’s beautiful, expansive, and well-equipped urban campus rivals that of most art and design schools. Located in Baltimore – a college town with 120,000 students recognized for its vibrant music and art scene, affordability, and entrepreneurial start-ups – MICA is at the heart of the New York – Washington east coast art corridor.
