California College of the Arts
California College of the Arts (CCA) in San Francisco was founded in 1907 by Frederick Meyer to provide education for artists and designers that would integrate both theory and practice in the arts.
Two campuses comprise the California College of the Arts. The San Francisco location in the Potrero Hill neighborhood is home to the undergraduate programs in architecture and design, the college’s graduate programs and the California College of the Arts Wattis Institute. The historic four-acre Oakland campus is home to the college’s undergraduate programs in art, the Center for Art and Public Life, year studios and residence halls. Both campuses currently enroll 1,740 full-time students.
Noted for the interdisciplinary breadth of its programs, CCA offers twenty undergraduate, seven graduate majors and a variety of other degrees. Some of these degrees include Bachelor of Architecture, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Master of Architecture, Master of Arts, Master of Fine Arts and Master of Business Administration.
Housing for new students is available in the Clifton Hall, Irwin Hall, and the Avenue Apartments on CCA’s Oakland campus. Graduate, returning, international, and transfer students may choose to live in the Continuing Student Community at Webster Hall in downtown Oakland.
Tuition for full-Time Students (12–18 units) is expected to $16,452 per term plus $1,371 per unit over 18. However, over 75 percent of CCA’s students will receive college-funded merit and need-based scholarships.
California College of the Arts is accredited by the the National Association of Schools of Art and Design, the National Architectural Accrediting Board, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and the Foundation for Interior Design Education Research.
