The portfolio is the most meaningful indicator of serious artistic commitment, ability, and potential to succeed in MICA's rigorous studio environment.

 Your artwork reflects your visual sensitivity, your intellectual curiosity and creativity, your motivation and your self-discipline. The Admission Committee assesses the way you express your ideas and concepts visually. Your previous training in the visual arts and your technical skills and ability are also evaluated. A well curated portfolio can increase both your chances of admission to MICA and your merit scholarships.
