Advanced Placement

MICA accepts Advanced Placement courses for credit from students who sucessfully pass the College Board AP Examination with scores of 4 or better; a 5 or better is required for the Drawing portfolio exam. Transfer is contingent upon applicability to degree requirements.

Dual Enrollment

Credit for college-level coursework completed in high school is not accepted for transfer credit.

International Baccalaureate

Students who have completed the IB Diploma or the individual examinations may be eligible for credit if they earn a score of 6 or 7 on the higher-level examinations. Students are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and awarding of credit is at MICA's discretion. No credit will be awarded for the Art/Design Elective.

Undergraduate

Transfer credit for transfer applicants is initially evaluated by the Office of Undergraduate Admission. Once matriculated, students must obtain prior approval to take courses at another institution from the appropriate departmental chairperson in writing. Courses must equate to semester credit hours. Upon successful completion of coursework and a minimum grade of "C" (grades of "S/U" and "Pass/Fail" will not accepted), students must provide an official transcript to the Office of Enrollment Services. Coursework will be transferred in with a grade of TR and a portfolio review for a studio course may be required.

Graduate

With approval of their Program Director, full-time MFA students may transfer a maximum of six (6.00) credits of graduate-level liberal arts coursework from another institution through the Office of Enrollment Services. Graduate level ELL credits taken during a post-baccalaureate year at MICA (including Graduate Academic Writing Workshop) are not eligible for transfer to a students MFA degree. Due of the specific sequence of courses required in the MAT, MAAE, MFACA, MPS, MBA/MA and MFAST programs, no transfer of credits will apply to these degrees.
