Founded in 1907, California College of the Arts (CCA) educates students to shape culture and society through the practice and critical study of art, architecture, design, and writing. Benefitting from its San Francisco Bay Area location, the college prepares students for lifelong creative work by cultivating innovation, community engagement, and social and environmental responsibility. CCA offers a rich curriculum of 17 undergraduate and 10 graduate programs in art, design, architecture, and writing taught by a faculty of expert practitioners. Attracting promising students from across the nation and around the world, CCA is one of the 10 most diverse colleges in the U.S. Graduates are highly sought-after by companies such as Pixar/Disney, Apple, Intel, Facebook, Gensler, Google, IDEO, Autodesk, Mattel, and Nike, and many have launched their own successful businesses. Alumni and faculty are often recognized with the highest honors in their fields, including Academy Awards, AIGA Medals, Fulbright Scholarships, Guggenheim Fellowships, MacArthur Fellowships, National Medal of Arts, and the Rome Prize, among others. CCA is creating a new, expanded college campus at its current site in San Francisco, spearheaded by the architectural firm Studio Gang. The new campus design, scheduled to open in the fall of 2024, will be a model of sustainable construction and practice; will unite the college’s programs in art, crafts, design, architecture, and writing in one location to create new adjacencies and interactions; and will provide more student housing than ever before.

Architecture and Urbanism, Civil Engineering, Art and Design, and Media – with its four faculties and diverse areas of expertise, the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar affords a profile that is unique in Germany. The university currently offers around 40 degree programmes in disciplines ranging from the fine arts through design, visual communication, media design and media studies to computer science as well as architecture, civil engineering, building material science, environmental engineering, and business management. The State Bauhaus, the most influential design school of the twentieth century, was founded in Weimar back in 1919. In those days, leading experts from different disciplines and countries worked here together with their students to revolutionise education and had a lasting impact on the design of our living world. They developed an answer to the key questions in art, culture and society of their time – modernity. The Bauhaus-Universität Weimar has been building on this history since 1996 as an international interdisciplinary university based in the unique cultural town of Weimar. Studies, research, art and teaching draw on the great Bauhaus model to find answers to central questions in art and culture, technology, science and society using modern methods. The inclusion of »Bauhaus« in the university’s name thus to this day indicates its willingness to experiment, openness, creativity and internationality.
