Liberal Arts Core Curriculum

Liberal Arts Core Curriculum

Liberal Arts at MICA is a vibrant teaching, research and learning community which interacts with all undergraduate and many graduate students.

There are two departments within Liberal Arts: Humanistic Studies and Art History. Students will take required courses in their first semesters from both departments and then choose electives as they progress through MICA's core Liberal Arts Curriculum.

Additionally, students may choose to major in History of Art, Design, and Visual Culture or Studio + Humanistic Studies.  

An Art History or Humanistic Studies minor is possible as well in addition to a Studio major. For more information, refer to the History of Art, Design, and Visual Culture minor page or the Humanistic Studies minors pages to find out more about the five specializations available.
