Student Affairs
The office offers individual support to students to assist them in succeeding within an art college environment, including consultation on medical and personal issues affecting academic performance. Students find that Student Affairs is a helpful place to ask general questions and determine what type of assistance might be available to them. The Office of Student Affairs also coordinates the resolution of student disciplinary cases.
Diversity & Intercultural Development
The Office of Diversity and Intercultural Development, an integral part of the Division of Student Affairs, bases its philosophy on inclusion and fostering recognition and respect for the voices of all students. The mission is to create a welcoming environment for all students, with a specific focus on the academic, social, and cultural needs of student concerns related to issues of culture, class, race, gender, sexuality, and similar issues.
Community Arts Partnership
MICA's Community Arts Partnership (CAP) program and the College's new MA program in Community Arts enlist the talents and energies of MICA students to provide the Baltimore community with enriching art-based educational experiences.
Campus Safety
Campus Safety officers patrol the campus 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. In addition, an off-duty Baltimore City Police officer patrols the campus during the evening hours when classes are in session. Security guards and student monitors at Campus Safety desks near the entrances of most academic buildings are the eyes and ears of MICA.
Transportation & Parking
A range of transportation options are available to MICA students- the Baltimore Light Rail stops on our campus, and subway service is just a few blocks away, as is Amtrak service at Pennsylvannia Station. In addition, MICA shuttles and the Baltimore Collegetown Shuttle offer free service to shopping and social activities.
Student Activities
The Office of Student Activities is home to over 40 student organizations, MICA’s student government, and a variety of programs and activities to keep students involved on campus. Students can also find opportunities for leadership development through such student positions as Program Managers, Orientation Leaders, and Student Activities work-study staff.
Residence Life & Off-Campus Housing
Residence halls at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) are more than just places to sleep. Out-of-classroom learning experiences will account for a significant amount of a student's education at MICA. Students are encouraged to use their time in college housing to participate in activities, develop new friendships, and learn more about themselves and others who live in your community.
Health & Wellness
The MICA Counseling Center provides services to students who are experiencing personal difficulties to help them regain a positive balance in their lives. All services are confidential. The Counseling Center staff also serves as a liaison to the Mt. Royal Medical Associates, the College’s designated health services location.
Dining Services
MICA partners with Parkhurst Dining Services to operate 4 dining facilities on campus: Meyerhoff House's Dining Hall, the Gateway Cafe, Java Corner, and Cafe Doris.
Student Accounts
This section contains information about tuition, fees, room, board, and financial options and policies. We believe that students, their families, and the College can work together to ensure the excellence of MICA. To meet the costs of a quality education, MICA offers financial options to meet a variety of needs. Together we are jointly investing in the future of each student at MICA.
