Our goal is to explore how different methods of inquiry and modes of making can drive real cultural, social, and practical change. Bringing global voices to CCA—whether in person or virtually—enables our students and faculty to come together with a broad network of practitioners to discuss, debate, and discover the most compelling contemporary issues in design. To see what we mean, catch up with the leading designers, strategists, curators, and educators who comprise our interdisciplinary lineup for the Fall Design Lecture Series :.
CCA recognizes the structures of oppression and colonization that permeate our educational systems, cultural organizations, and creative industries, and acknowledges the responsibility of higher education to confront racial and social inequities through our curriculum and programs.
To this end, all undergraduates complete both seminar and studio requirements in Critical Ethnic Studies , one of the earliest programs of its kind when it was founded at CCA in , and today the only such dedicated program in a U.
This interdisciplinary cohort of CCA faculty is committed to building a new curricular model for art and design education that foregrounds Indigenous practices and acknowledges decolonization as a continuous process. The results? These digital drawings, made in Google Sheets, focus on techniques of algorithmic creativity and explore their continued influence on architecture and the arts.
We just restocked the CCA by dustinocanalin collection, sold at archsupplies online and in person. I hope 'Sarita' will bring them into the international spotlight and spark a resurgence of national pride for this and future Fiipinx generations. Our six undergraduate programs train students in conceptual exploration, which includes the ability to research materials and examine ideas through the lenses of history and present-day society and culture.
Students merge analytical and craftmaking skills during immersive study-abroad courses or sponsored studios, which help you establish networks and gain real-world know-how from diverse practitioners and professional designers. Minors are a great way to incorporate a second interest, such as storytelling or designing for social impact, into your studio practice without adding more units for graduation. Our three graduate design programs enable you to chart your own course, build lifelong networks, and realize your potential as a dynamic agent of cultural, social, and ecological change.
Our groundbreaking MBA in Design Strategy draws on the culture of creativity particular to an art and design school to prepare students to transform systems and organizations through human-centric design principles and generative, future-focused business leadership. An open platform for investigation and experimentation, the MFA in Design prompts students to explore hybrid design structures that employ materials in unconventional ways and propose exciting speculations about emerging ideas and technologies.
At the end of a three-year curriculum, graduates earn both degrees and the high-level design capabilities to maximize their impact across a variety of design roles. The San Francisco Bay Area has long been a sanctuary for boundless ideas, technological leadership, and nonconformity, making it the ideal environment for students, faculty, and industry professionals to mix it up in forward-leaning partnerships. Through a robust network of professional and community partnerships, CCA students collaborate with creative industries in the Bay Area and beyond to tackle real-world problems with right-now solutions.

A cohort of students will go on to intensive summer internships, where they will advance the work of the studio and ready it for public presentation.
Through international workshops and conversations with industry thought leaders in music, production, and design, the student teams consider the future trajectories of music authorship, ownership, and collaborative experience.
Their imaginative proposals demonstrate how interdisciplinary collaboration, global partnership, and creative research lead to ideas that can transform our world for the better. When CCA and Oracle set out to develop a mutually beneficial partnership, they focused on the idea of common human truths—in this case, trust.
In the Designing for Trust course, CCA senior interaction design students partnered with Oracle Design to think holistically about automation, smart machines, and the human implications of both from a customer-experience standpoint. Please get in touch to learn more about past and ongoing projects and how we can partner on the next big thing.
