Please note: This program has been transitioned to the Ceramics studio minor for students entering MICA starting Fall 2024 of later. The information presented here is for current students completing the program as a major.

Focusing on fostering an environment that respects the potential of Ceramic’s rich traditions while also integrating and exploring its new potentials, we are a community of learners exploring innovation.

MICA’s Ceramics major provides a highly individualized course of study and fosters the development of a student’s personal voice. The curriculum supports technical skills within a framework of innovation and interdisciplinary thinking, and involves students in traditions and contemporary trends in the medium, with an active engagement in critical inquiry.
