Today’s art and design graduate students need master’s programs focused on tomorrow. MICA invites you to find your place in one of our top-10 ranked Master of Fine Arts programs, first-in-nation Master of Art programs, or groundbreaking MBA or Master of Professional Studies Programs.

Learn more about these programs, and how they might benefit your artistic or professional practices, at MICA’s graduate open studios and graduate open house events being held November 9–10.

MICA’s open studios event, hosted Friday, November 9 from 4 to 7pm, offers the opportunity for prospective students to see the work being made by current graduate students and ultimately seeks to foster both cross-pollination between programs and larger collaborations across Baltimore’s art community.
