Located in downtown Berkeley, California, the California Jazz Conservatory (CJC) is an independent music conservatory dedicated exclusively to jazz studies and related musical styles. Founded in 1997 as the Jazzschool, and accredited in 2014, the institution operates from two facilities near the Berkeley Arts District, offering both degree and non-degree programs. The conservatory's curriculum focuses on jazz performance, composition, and arranging, while also incorporating music technology, recording arts, and business of music courses. Students at CJC study in an urban setting with access to performance venues and practice spaces, though the institution does not provide student housing. The conservatory maintains partnerships with local jazz venues and festivals, providing students with performance opportunities in the San Francisco Bay Area's established jazz community.
