MICA's Pre-College Art and Design Residency Program is an intensive college-level experience designed to help participants make the leap from thinking like high school art students to thinking like an artist.

All classes are college level, so be prepared to give the maximum time and effort both in and out of class. You must complete all curriculum units to receive college credit. Parents should be aware that some pre-college classes use nude models and that some artwork that is discussed in pre-college classes contains adult themes.
