Memphis College of Art (MCA), located in Memphis, Tennessee, has cemented its legacy as a specialized institution for visual arts education before closing its doors permanently in 2020. The college was established in 1936 and had been situated within Overton Park, a large, picturesque municipal park near the city's vibrant downtown area. MCA offered a range of undergraduate and graduate programs, focusing on various disciplines within the visual arts, which included painting, sculpture, graphic design, and illustration, among others. The college historically maintained a liberal admissions policy. The campus architecture, while no longer serving educational purposes, featured modern design elements that once complemented its creative educational mission. On-campus living options previously accommodated a segment of its student body, with residence halls designed to foster an immersive artistic learning environment. Notable for its concentrated arts education rather than athletics, MCA's influence continues through the contributions of its alumni to the field of art and design.

  103 students are enrolled on a full time basis, and 13 attend part time. In-state tuition for 2022/2023, excluding room and board, is $32,400 plus fees of $730.
