<p>Does anyone out there understand the details of the arrangement between JH and the Maryland Institute College of Art? I want to major in Studio Art, but JH doesn't offer such a major. Must I pursue another major at JH (say, psych) and an art major at MICA?</p>
<p>As far as I know, it’s not possible to double major between Hopkins and MICA, but you are allowed to take MICA classes as a Hopkins Student. See the last section of <a href=“http://www.jhu.edu/design/oliver/1476onlinehandbook/academic_manual/registration.html[/url]”>http://www.jhu.edu/design/oliver/1476onlinehandbook/academic_manual/registration.html</a>, and contact Academic Advising for the specifics of the agreement with MICA</p>
<p>"Undergraduates may take one course per semester at one of the several area colleges and universities that comprise the academic cooperative program. The cooperative program includes the following colleges in the Baltimore area: Coppin State University, Goucher College, Loyola College, Morgan State University, College of Notre Dame, Towson University, the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and Villa Julie College. Similar arrangements on a limited basis are in place with the Maryland Institute College of Art and the Baltimore Hebrew College. "</p>
<p>As usual, tanman is exactly correct in what he wrote. There is no double major option between MICA and JHU. JHU students are able to take select courses at MICA but there is no option for a major or minor. </p>

<p>OK, I looked at the Hopkins blogs and the Homewood Arts website. And if I get this correctly, a Hopkins undergrad interested in studying visual art can take Homewood Arts workshops or cross-register at MICA or other area colleges. Even though there’s not an art major or minor, would a student who is passionate about visual arts have enough opportunities to create art - to wit: Question (1): The Homewood class sections seem limited in size - do all interested students mostly get into the classes they want, or do the course sections get impacted? Would a student be able to take a Homewood visual art class most every semester if they desired? Question (2): Is there enough challenge in the Homewood classes for a student who’s taken 4 years of art in high school, up to AP studio art? Does the Homewood art faculty place students by portfolio review - how does a student get advising on which art classes to take, at Homewood or MICA or elsewhere? Question (3): is there studio space available for students regardless of enrollment in classes - i.e. there appears to be an art club - do they have access to studio facilities?<br>
Many thanks for any/all answers to these questions!</p>
<p>I can tell you that my daughter, who double majored in Psychology and History of Art, was also interested in studio art and, like you, took many studio art classes at a private high school with a very strong art program. She took a number of art classes through the Homewood Art Workshops and both enjoyed them throughly and felt that her skills had improved. She was also awarded an arts certificate at graduation. </p>
<p>My impression is that the level of instruction was very good for what it is–a place for undergraduates to develop and improve their art skills. It is not designed to train professional artists. My daughter considered taking a studio course at MICA but ultimately decided that she wasn’t prepared to make the time commitment (I’m told that each studio session is quite long–something like 5-6 hours). She also had friends who took studio art classes at Towson University under cross-registration. Towson has a very good art department but the students there are generally not going to be at the MICA level (and, therefore, perhaps less intimidating for a student without a huge amount of talent.) Towson trains a lot of art teachers. </p>
<p>My daughter found that the Homewood Art Workshops fit her needs well and she didn’t have to go elsewhere. She had no difficulty getting into the classes she wanted and there was no portfolio or other requirements to get in. Some students were rank beginners, while others were talented enought to have gone to an art college but decided that they actually wanted to become employed after college. 
While enrolled, she was given an electronic key for access to the Mattin Center so she had 24 hour access to the studios. I could be wrong but I think that most of the studios are only available to registered students because, while they are quite nice, they are not all that big. But like many things at Hopkins, I suspect that if you take a couple of courses and get to know the faculty, that studio access thereafter can probably be arranged notwithstanding the rule. </p>
<p>I hope this helps.</p>
<p>Thank you Bonanza, wonderful answer. Ms. L</p>
