Art Center College of Design occupies two campuses in Pasadena, California: a hillside Modernist complex overlooking the San Gabriel Mountains and a renovated former aircraft-testing facility in downtown Pasadena. Founded in 1930 and relocated to its current main campus in 1976, the college operates as a private institution focusing exclusively on visual and applied arts education. The college maintains a selective admissions process and is known for its professional degree programs in transportation design, industrial design, entertainment design, and advertising, with many graduates advancing to leadership positions in major automotive companies and design firms. Students attend year-round through an accelerated program structure, and while the college provides no on-campus housing, it maintains studio facilities that are accessible to students 24 hours a day.
