The ceramics major at MICA is a highly individualized program of study that develops technical skills within a framework of innovation, interdisciplinary research, and critical inquiry. The department's close-knit community forms a rich intellectual environment in which you'll engage with traditions and contemporary trends in the ceramic medium; build confidence in your ideas, artistic voice and critical skills; and immerse yourself within the landscape of contemporary art and culture. Overview Ceramics core requirements help build competence, moving from structured learning to increasing levels of independent research and self-direction.
