San Francisco, the fourth largest city in California, covers only 46.7 square miles and is home to over 776,000 residents. In addition to being a famed tourist destination, the area has long been renowned as a mecca for artists and, as such, many museums, galleries, and studios are located in the city. Artists and art students alike are drawn to San Francisco, which is known for having a community that also supports work and study in architecture, film, photography, design, and studio art, among the many arts-related disciplines.

Introduction: An arts education has never been more valuable than it is today. In these extraordinary times, visual communication has an increasingly important influence on the global community. Artists, architects, and designers are pivotal to the very shape of our future. At CCA we believe art can make a positive difference in the world and that learning about the world will contribute to the expansion and deepening of the arts. We offer an interdisciplinary curriculum that balances tradition with innovation; that combines theory and practice; and that connects art, design, and architecture with each other and with the important issues of our society. At CCA, your studies will be both broad and deep, and you will discover and rediscover the relevance of everything you have learned through daily application. The Bay Area is bursting with cultural energy, and the CCA campuses in Oakland and San Francisco offer lively, diverse environments in which to interact with others who share your passion. Our world-class faculty of practicing artists, architects, and designers are dedicated to providing you with the tools, knowledge, and resources that will help you find your own path to success.
