Welcome Uarts Students

Maryland Institute College of Art Welcomes University of the Arts Students

MICA is here to provide an opportunity to continue your artistic journey with minimal disruption if you have been considering the University of the Arts (UArts) or are in the middle of their degree program. We support you and want you to know that you don’t have to compromise your dreams. You can still realize your academic and artistic goals within a similar learning community. We understand UArts students and the specialized training new artists and designers receive at such institutions.

We're offering a benefits package, just for you.  To help minimize disruption to your education,  MICA will:

  1. Match or exceed your current Financial Aid / Scholarship package 
  2. Guarantee On-Campus Apartment Style Housing (Single or Double)
  3. Provide a degree completion program utilizing all of your UArts credits to ensure you complete your degree on time
  4. Make transferring easy with a dedicated admission counselor for 1 on 1 assistance

Just fill out this form to learn about additional benefits and get connected to a MICA Admission Counselor who will answer any questions you may have and walk  you through the transfer process:
