Students may enroll in Creative Writing or select one of the following studio options listed below.
Studio courses are designed to challenge students at all levels of artistic experience. The studios include slide presentations and group discussions. Students are encouraged to express their ideas and feelings about their work and that of fellow students.
Critiques provide a means for students to develop an understanding of what they have done in the context of their classmates' responses and the project objectives.
All studio sessions incorporate an art history component.
Enrollment in Pre-College studios ranges from 12 to 18 students, depending on the discipline.
The Pre-College faculty members are dedicated and highly accomplished artists, architects, designers, and writers who are interested in sharing their professional insights and experiences. The majority of them also teach in CCA's four-year degree program.
We make every effort to place applicants in the studio of their first or second choice. However, due to the popularity of certain studios, some students may be assigned to their third selection. Receipt of your application by the priority deadline does not guarantee placement in your first (or second) choice.


"CCA Pre-College was the greatest experience I've ever had. I learned so much, met so many people, and grew as a person."
