Before You Begin

MCAD is now available on the Common App.

First-year undergraduate (BFA and BS) applicants: If you have already submitted or plan to submit the Common App for MCAD, do not complete this MCAD Application as well. You only need to submit one application.

First-year applicants may choose either:

• The Common App for MCAD, or
• The MCAD Application below

Both application options are easy to complete, and you may save your progress and return at any time. The application form requires a credit card for the $50 nonrefundable application fee. In cases of financial hardship, the application fee may be waived. Please contact the MCAD Admissions Office for more information.

Transfer undergraduate (BFA and BS) and Graduate (MA and MA) applicants must use the MCAD Application below. The Common App is not available for transfer or graduate admission.
