undergraduate admissions : application requirements


There is still time for you to apply to Maine College of Art!

MECA welcomes students to apply on a rolling admissions basis, and applications for admission are reviewed throughout the year. Our priority deadline for fall admission is February 1.

Each new student adds immeasurably to the vibrancy of our community. Applications are evaluated individually, with consideration given to the strength of the portfolio as well as academic achievement. Anyone graduating from high school or earning the equivalency may apply for admission.

MECA's community is as diverse and unique as each individual student. If you are currently enrolled at another college, you are welcome to apply and join our thriving population of transfer students. Students who are not presently in school or who are working full time are also encouraged to apply, and applicants not seeking a BFA degree may apply for special student status. MECA encourages individuals, including international students, who will contribute to the diversity of its student body to apply.

Financial aid and merit-based scholarships are available, and over 90% of our students receive financial assistance. If you plan on applying for need-based financial aid, we encourage you to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) if you have not done so already. The application is available online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. If you have questions about applying for financial aid, please see the link above, or feel free to contact the Financial Aid Office at finaid@meca.edu or 1.800.639.4808. The Maine College of Art FAFSA code is 011673. Our College Board (SAT) code is 3701.
