MICA is best know for its painting, fibers, and foundation programs. Foundation year is crucial because high school graduates come from all over the country with different skill levels and their first year allows them to take courses that will enhance the work of those who need it which over all evens the slate. This works well in creating a close knit community where artists can openly support and influence eachothers work and future.

MICA is best known for its wide array of all sorts of art classes that everyone at my school can experiment with. From experimental animation to painting, each class has a well informed teacher who are also part time artists themselves. My school is most famous for their painting program because of all the knowledgable and inspiring teachers. Located in Baltimore, MICA is a well acredited art school that is rated one of the top 3 art schools in the country. I agree from first hand experience-- I learned more my freshmen year than any other year of my life.
