Most Helpful Review for California College of the Arts - CCA

In all the courses, you will get something out of it even if its not related to your major. Some teachers are helpful, but some don't know what they're doing... (especially in core classes). coursework/projects aren't difficult, but time consuming. you have to manage your time well. you learn more by working hard on all projects and from critiques (feedback from fellow students and professors) which give suggestions/commentary on how to improve your project. It's not too challenging and not too easy.

    California College of the Arts is amazing,they let their students strive and want the best for them not only as students but as people as well. Also, they have an incredible diversity population, every corner you turn, you meet someone with a different background. To put it shortly, everyone should attend to CCA.

    CCA is one of the most mixed environments I have ever been. It is an innovative and exciting school filled with so many disciplines. Students are constantly engaging with one another.

    Reasonably priced art college that is located near San Francisco. It has rich resources (alumni, environment etc.) and many different majors to choose from. Try out their pre-college program.

    A place where every art interacts and mixes together. CCA encourages students to interact with other majors and strengthen connections for the future. With teachers who are currently working in the art world, students get a taste of what their lives will be like after graduation.

    In a scale from 1 to 10, I give California College of the Arts an seven. In my 3 years at CCA I have come across teachers that are not adequate to be teaching, some have no experience and some have the experience but are just poor teachers. As far as the curriculum I believe that for my major, a lot could be added to improve it.

    I Transfered to CCA after my 2nd year of another great design school on the east coast, (I changed my major and decided to go to the school that was known for the program.) I've been at CCA a year and will be finishing my degree there for sure. 25 or less core class sizes, and most teachers work in the field that they teach.

    CCA is a great school for all types of artistic majors. It's especially great for those interested in writing and very receptive for writers of all sorts. Though the price is steep I recommend attending if you can afford it.

    California College of the Arts has a unique and rigorous program created for the conscious modern day artist. Their curriculum and resources prepares students to combine art with the communities both around the institution and the world. Preparing alumni to face the battles of continuing to purse a career in art outside of the school.
