Hey guys, I've got MICA (Maryland Institute College of Art) on my college list and I'm trying to estimate how much I might need in loans. Does anyone here know what the typical full tuition cost is for MICA?
For the 2024-2025 academic year, the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) lists its tuition at approximately $54,750 for full-time undergraduate students. However, this just includes the cost of tuition.
You should also be aware of other expenses. Room and board typically fall in the range of $14,620 to $18,450. Ancillary costs, such as books, supplies, and personal expenses, can add around $1,000–$2,000 or more per year. Then there's a completely separate health insurance cost that you might have to cover unless you have your own insurance that meets the school's requirements.
Being that it’s a private art school, MICA is understandably steep, however, MICA offers a substantive amount of financial aid to help ease the cost. Roughly 90% of full-time undergraduates receive some form of financial aid.
Remember, when considering tuition, be sure to factor in all these additional expenses for a more comprehensive estimate of the total cost of attendance.
