Led by internationally renowned illustrator, photographer, and comic book colorist Jose Villarrubia, MICA's BFA in Illustration fosters an understanding of the dynamic field today and urges students to shape its future. It prepares students to create work with a personal voice that resonates with contemporary culture. The curriculum, combined with MICA's emphasis on liberal arts, prepares illustrators who are both visually and intellectually literate and technically adept, with an understanding of the history of the field-which is the history of all narrative art.
