I did the 5 year BFA/MAT program! I just graduated with my MAT in 2022. MICA has its ups and downs. My experience in undergrad was complicated because of COVID-19 closures and restrictions. But, the MAT program adapted
well to all the challenges! The MAT program is incredible, full of amazing professors and your cohort becomes a lovely community. MAT did an incredible job preparing me to become a k-12 art educator.
My classes explored strategies, theories, techniques, planning, and more. While the 3 internships (student teaching) allowed for excellent hands-on experience!
The 5 year program can be hard to balance, as you start to take graduate classes while you are working on finishing undergrad. Some majors are more flexible than others to fit the requirements.
MICA is located in Baltimore, which also has its ups and downs. Baltimore has a great art scene. Bolton Hill is fairly safe, just be cautious as you would in any city and don't wander places you are unfamiliar with.

MICA's teachers are their strongest asset, and accessibility on campus is their worst. Wheelchair access is the starting point, and mental health services are improving but still average. The professors I have had, along with my friends, have made coming here worth it. I love Bolton Hill, along with Baltimore City proper and the inner harbor. If you want to focus on art education, the MAT program is amazing and I am currently in it! I have a bittersweet relationship with MICA, but overall I could not have gone to any other school. :)
I chose to attend MICA from 2008-2012 and procured a BFA in Interdisciplinary Sculpture. I was able to train under some of the most enthusiastic and well-rounded artists. I learned a variety of techniques like metal fabrication, resist-dyeing, woodworking, print making, photography and digital art. I went on to work in interior design and manage an art gallery for a National Geographic photographer. I'm currently a high school art teacher and my experience at MICA has opened doors for me as well as enabled me to move seamlessly throughout the art world. I'm now actively creating commission artwork and I have my extensive training at MICA to thank for my success. The foundation year at MICA completely breaks your patterns of thinking and enables you to think conceptually then you gradually develop deeper understanding of different content areas while building an understanding of the humanities. It's an experience I'd repeat and an environment that draws intelligent and talented folks.
