Photography

One of the first programs of its kind worldwide, the photography program at MICA was established more than 100 years ago. Building on this legacy and acknowledging the impact photography has had on contemporary art and culture, the curriculum encourages a diversity of approaches. Today, our department is committed to providing an educational experience that seeks to cultivate an informed and engaged practitioner.
