Undergraduate Admission

MICA attracts some of the most talented, passionate and serious individuals in the world as faculty and students. The College is a universe of artists, designers, and scholars who celebrate the creative process, the majesty of the arts, and the mind-expanding pursuit of knowledge. To maintain this community of artists, admission to Maryland Institute College of Art is highly competitive. In selecting from among the many outstanding applications we receive for a limited number of spaces, MICA's Admission Committee considers a comprehensive set of factors. Central to our evaluations are the artistic and academic qualifications of our candidates, but we also consider extracurricular activities and achievements, art experience beyond classroom instruction, and personal qualities.
