The California College of Arts (CCA) operates across two San Francisco Bay Area campuses, with its main campus in Oakland and additional facilities in San Francisco's Design District. Founded in 1907 during the Arts and Crafts movement, CCA has evolved from its origins as a craft-focused institution to become a comprehensive art, design, architecture, and writing college. The Oakland campus features industrial-modern buildings and renovated historic structures set on a four-acre site that houses extensive studio spaces and specialized facilities for ceramics, glass, metal arts, and textiles. CCA maintains a selective admissions process and is known for its programs in industrial design, architecture, fashion design, and illustration, with particular emphasis on sustainable and socially responsible design practices. Students typically reside in college-operated housing during their first year, with options in both Oakland and San Francisco, while upper-level students often secure independent housing in the surrounding Bay Area communities.
