Curatorial Practice (MFA)

Maryland Institute College of Art

The first M.F.A. of its kind in the country, MICA's M.F.A. in Curatorial Practice prepares students to expand the role of curators-engaging audiences more effectively by proposing alternative models of exhibition-making, institution-building, and social justice through art.MICA's M.F.A. in Curatorial Practice offers a hands-on curriculum that balances collaboration and socially engaged practices with academic research in history and theory. By creating real-world collaborative and individual exhibitions, our students raise awareness, bridge societal gaps, and catalyze exchanges across various disciplines, both inside and outside the art world.Students in this two-year, 60-credit, full-time program will study and engage in the process of exhibition creation, defining their own professional practices and taking on the roles and responsibilities of working curators.
