If you haven’t been to the Berkshires, we should talk. Our area is known for its majestic mountain ranges, hiking trails, and natural splendor. Economically, our region is resurging in a big way thanks to young and creative energy in North Adams and here at MCLA. Surrounded by some of the nation’s most notable cultural landmarks, as well as some of its most beautiful landscapes, MCLA is an incredible place to spend your college years.

The MCLA Office of Admission recommends all visitors, regardless of vaccination status, be masked in all indoor spaces. Please note, our larger events (Open Houses, Accepted Student Days, Saturday Tours) may have 50-200 visitors on campus. Our student tour guides have the option of wearing a mask, but as a general practice, if you are wearing a mask, they will put one on as well.

Please stay home if you are sick or have symptoms. MCLA reserves the right to cancel or make other last minute programming changes due to emerging state and local guidance. 

Our student guides give daily tours. See MCLA’s campus and learn about the admission and financial aid process, academics, and life at MCLA.
