Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ecosystems, Sustainability and Justice

Maryland Institute College of Art

Art and Design are perhaps the oldest and most powerful tools to address social justice and environmental crisis.
And because artists are natural activists, they are among the leading voices confronting today’s greatest challenges.

The interdisciplinary Ecosystems, Sustainability, and Justice (ESJ) BFA at MICA will prepare you to address pressing global challenges through the lens of art, design, and creative practice. As an ESJ major, you will learn to bridge disciplinary boundaries and engage in collaboration and integrative thinking across fields through a curriculum that combines studio practice, theoretical exploration, research, and community engagement. These approaches will empower you to actively use your creativity to confront complex environmental and social issues to make a more just and sustainable world.
