Maryland Institute College of Art Top Questions

Well, if you are not quite artistic and driven I would not recommend enrolling in MICA. It is very demanding and requires a lot of skill and determination. Also, holding conversative views would make the MICA experience uncomfortable probably. We are a very economically aware and accepting community.

A person who is unsure of their interest in the arts, who lacks motivation, and isn't focused on the long-term. Also, someone who is unaccepting of others (they will be forced to confront anything they've ever disliked about a person in this place).

All "kinds" of people should and do attend this school. Who you were in high school is forgotten when you get to MICA. One is viewd not by what he/she wears, but what he/she creates. Those that are close-minded may not do well at MICA.

If you don't truely love your field of study within the arts, MICA is not the place for you. I have created my own interests within my major that has fueled me through the past three years, but if you have a broad level of interests in things partially or not related to art you will not have the patience to finish at MICA. Alot of freshman drop out because they realize that their art form is something they only want to do as a hobby or something they want to create alone.

Everyone is welcomed to experience a diverse, talented, and goal-driven group of people. However, there are a few who don't understand the true meaning behind ART. They shouldn't attend Maryland Institute College of Art. Maryland Institute College of Art is an open door for opportunites waiting to be discovered. If one does not have the commitment and passion, then he or she cannot have a career in this field.
