As an art school, students are encouraged to think critically. Coming into the school, I have never thought like that before. It is amazing where my thinking has come to where it is now. MICA set it's students up for creative thinking.

Darrell

The most unique thing about my school is that we all come ready to excel at our methods from all around the world, and we are extremely dedicated to mastering our craft on all levels of art making. Our classes are usually at a minimum of about 30 students, everyone's really friendly, and all staff and faculty eventually become our friends.

My school has an exchane program with other schools in the city. I ca attend ay school for a tuition echane and take couses at any school accepting the exchang. My education will not be limited.

Elisabeth

Not only am I learning typical artistic skills such as color theory or rendering proportional figures but I now think and question my process and approaches. Basically, I get to be self indulgent and think about my relationship with my art through exploration. I am learning that to be an artist means begin a historian, researcher, writer, philosopher, and most importantly and observer. Plus I get to go to art school and do what I love all day plus be surrounded by colorful personalities.

MICA caters exclusively to art students. The studio classes are very good and are held once a week for six hours. Academic classes are also only once a week, but they last three hours. The teachers have high expectations and the students generally graduate with strong portfolios. The school offers unique study abroad programs and internship opportunities. For example, I was able to spend a semester in New York City working with NBC news. The school also encourages students to become active participants in the community. Another unique aspect is the school allows students to bring dogs to most classes.

Sidney

The most unique quality about MICA is its size. It's small enough to allow one to know alot of students, yet large enough for it not to feel Claustrophobic.

Sarah
