<p>I got snail mail addressed to my kid, who did MICA pre college three summers ago. how they counted his age nor assumed what he is at now is besides the point, but here is what they now offer.
PMS, No, I have ESL dyslexia, it is</p>

<p>MPS. Master in Professional Studies in the Business of Art and Design
here is the site
<a href=“http://www.mica.edu/Programs_of_Study/MPS_Degree_Programs/The_Business_Of_Art_And_Design_(MPS).html[/url]”>http://www.mica.edu/Programs_of_Study/MPS_Degree_Programs/The_Business_Of_Art_And_Design_(MPS).html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>14 month, online, skype, dim dim, web conference, presentation, short residency at MICA over weekends
you will get

  1. 30 credits
  2. skill on start sustain grow art or design business
  3. two path to choose from design/manager or creative artist/enterprenuer
  4. money smart
  5. ethics, pub speak and business writing skill
  6. blah blah</p>

<p>in the nutshell, it seems bumped up continuing education that cost arms and legs, but anyone could apply and learn such things by not even at the school. Newschool, NYU does bunches but this is supposedly the first that concentrate on the business of art and design.
If you love doing creating side of art, I feel better to do that solid college years and do business bit later? </p>

<p>PS
it made me feel warm and fuzzy for the recruit letter was (digi)signed by the same dean who called in person that summer to tell us they want to give him the pre college spot miraculously opened up in the last minutes. He wanted to do his school, and most of all, my kid the best he could do, which was really really touching.
It’s been two and half years and he is still there, doing the same. good to know that.</p>
