MICA to launch Ratcliffe Center for Creative Entrepreneurship
​
Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) announces the creation of the Ratcliffe Center for Creative Entrepreneurship. Meeting MICA’s educational mission to empower students to forge creative and purposeful lives and careers, this center is made possible thanks to an extraordinary $5 million gift from the Philip E. and Carole R. Ratcliffe Foundation.

Building on MICA’s dedicated commitment to helping creatives develop innovative, socially-conscious businesses, the Ratcliffe Center addresses the evolving needs of students and alumni in the new creative economy. Its activities reflect a comprehensive range of strategies, including curricular, co-curricular and experiential programming; and competition and entrepreneurship showcases. Business skills and 21st-century entrepreneurship training will be embedded into MICA’s curriculum.
