About this School

It's one of the leading art and design schools in the country. The college offers undergraduate and graduate majors in the areas of fine arts, architecture, design, and writing. The college confers bachelor of architecture, bachelor of arts, bachelor of fine arts, master of architecture, master of arts, and master of fine arts degrees.

History

CCA was founded in 1907 by Frederick Meyer in Berkeley as School of the California Guild of Arts and Crafts during the height of the Arts and Crafts movement. In 1922 the school moves to a new campus on the former James Treadwell estate in Oakland, where it is renamed the California School of Arts and Crafts, and then in 1936 the school becomes the California College of Arts and Crafts. Recognizing the growth of the school and its broad curriculum as well as image reasons, the college was renamed California College of the Arts. CCA(C) dropped the word "Crafts" from its name in 2003 and is now simply known as "CCA", Many students and facilities voiced objection about the name change afterward, and still refer the school as CCAC years after the name change. CCA's faculty and graduates have influenced, and in many cases led, almost every mid- and late-twentieth-century art movement. CCAC is closely linked to the emergence of the 1960s ceramics movement. Alumni Robert Arneson and Peter Voulkos and faculty member Viola Frey helped instigate the ceramics revolution, which established that medium as a fine art. The photorealist movement of the 1970s is represented by current faculty member Jack Mendenhall and alumni Robert Bechtle and Richard McLean. Alumni Nathan Oliveira and Manuel Neri were leaders in the Bay Area figurative art movement. Today, Frederick Meyer's "practical art school" is an internationally known and respected institution, drawing students from throughout the world.
