CCA is one of the best art and design colleges in the world
At California College of the Art’s Industrial Design Program, students develop skills in research, communication, form making, and critical thinking, and graduate with the tools to become a "thought leader" in the industry. The curriculum's balance of conceptual and skill-based approaches serves our graduates well.
CCA students benefit from the breadth of our 21 undergraduate programs. Graphic design, interaction design, fashion design, furniture, glass, and film are just a few of the fields you can investigate.
