Maine College of Art & Design Admissions

Maine College of Art & Design is less selective with a 73.96% acceptance rate, meaning about three out of four applicants get in. This makes it accessible for most students who are serious about art and design, though you still need to show real artistic talent and commitment. The school doesn't publish standardized test requirements, focusing instead on portfolios and creative potential. With only 415 students total, they're looking for artists who want intensive, hands-on training in a small setting. The school seeks students passionate about fine arts, graphic design, or illustration who thrive in Portland's creative community and want close relationships with faculty in that 8:1 student-faculty ratio.
