MICA's graduate faculty are nationally and internationally recognized working artists and designers, scholars, instructors, critics, advocates, and mentors. The hallmark of the graduate experience is the individual attention our renowned faculty give to each student. Selected for their successful studio and professional practices, many faculty members are recognized for their criticism, scholarship, and curatorial activities.

Graduate Program Directors and Faculty

The faculty is deeply engaged and committed to student creative development and provides personalized mentorship for each student's development. Selected for their successful studio and professional practices, many faculty members are also recognized for their practices, criticism, scholarship, and curatorial activities. Intensive and varied interactions with students allow graduate program directors to tailor seminar topics and technical workshops to the specific needs of their students --and to support each student in the pursuit of his or her unique creative vision and academic achievement.

Artists-in-Residence / Critics-in-Residence

Each year, nationally and internationally recognized thought leaders and practitioners in the creative fields meet with graduate students and participate in graduate seminars. This wide array of voices and aesthetic positions balances the continuity of study with faculty and expands students' opportunities for mentorship and networking.
