CCA is located in the San Francisco Bay Area, one of the world’s most dynamic and progressive metropolitan centers. Our students are able to leverage the area’s culture of creativity, technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Many of the programs enhance their curricular offerings by engaging with outside cultural institutions, companies, organizations, and communities. In and out of the classroom, students gain meaningful professional connections that will be of lasting value throughout their careers, as they exert their ever-growing influence on global cultural production.

We encourage all applicants to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) starting January 1, 2013, to be considered for financial aid. CCA’s federal school code is 001127.
