"MCLA’s location provided me with endless opportunities to gain professional experience in the arts. I had a lot of fun working as a tour guide at MASS MoCA and in the education department at the Berkshire Museum, which allowed me to figure out what kinds of jobs I would like and to meet a lot of interesting arts professionals along the way. MCLA’s small size helped me develop close working relationships with my favorite professors who always took time to advise me on academic and professional concerns. I really felt like they were with me all the way."

Financial Aid
The Office of Financial Aid administers federal and state financial aid programs. Over 80% of Mass College matriculated undergraduate students receive some form of financial aid, which is awarded on the basis of need. Most financial aid packages consist of a combination of grants, loan and part-time employment. Student aid funds come primarily from state and federal programs such as Pell Grants, Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant, MASS Grant, the College Work-Study Program, Perkins Loan and Stafford Student Loans. For students who do not have their needs meet or do not qualify for financial aid, there are a number of alternative loan and payment plans available.
