Overview

The Studio Art (Summer Low-Residency) degree at Maryland Institute College of Art integrates practice with theory, encouraging students to be independent thinkers and researchers.

Students may focus on one specific medium or work across various media. MFAST students are encouraged to work in ways most appropriate to their individual research and a full range of contemporary art practices are welcomed.

Key Features

The program spans just over three years. This includes an intensive six-week summer residency over four summers, combined with independent work during the academic year, and short winter sessions over a long weekend in February each year.

With the help of distance learning tools, students keep in contact with their dedicated faculty mentors and a strong community of peers, visiting artists, critics, and alumni while away from campus.

While on campus, students occupy individual studios and display work in MICA’s exhibition spaces. Candidates must develop their own studio facilities for use during the academic year.
