Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA)

MICA offers its international exchange students unparalleled opportunities to select courses from various innovative curricula. As the United States' oldest continuously degree-granting college of art and design, MICA is located in Baltimore and deeply connected to the community. It is a regionally leading contributor to the creative economy and a top producer of nationally and internationally recognised professional artists and designers.

Acknowledged as a premier leader in art and design education in the United States, MICA is deliberately cultivating a new generation of artists—one capable of seamlessly integrating innovation, entrepreneurship, and creative citizenship with contemporary approaches to art, design, and media. MICA is redefining the role of artists and designers as creative, solutions-oriented makers and thinkers who will drive social, cultural, and economic advancement for our future.

 

 

 


  • Fine Arts, Graphic Design, and Animation Exchange 
  • Exchange students may register for any course, space prevailing, unless specific academic restrictions exist.  Otherwise, exchange students may register for courses alongside other MICA students as long as they meet the prerequisite requirements and permissions from their home school.   
  • Exchange students are required to live on MICA's campus; off-campus housing is not an option. 
  • To obtain a U.S. student visa, you will be required to submit bank statements showing you have access to a specific sum. The exact amount varies depending on host institution. At MICA, students must demonstrate at least $10,500 USD in a savings or checking account that will be available to them during their semester in the United States. This amount is determined to live comfortably in Baltimore, Maryland, for one semester, as well as meeting the student visa requirements. 

MICA has provided a fact sheet for prospective exchange students.
