Study Abroad

Through the CCA study abroad and International Exchange Program, you can immerse yourself in another culture and experience different ways of seeing, making, and communicating about art.

CCA offers two ways to study abroad:

  • International exchange: A semester abroad at one of over 25 associated international art schools. (See the full list of program sites.)
  • Summer study abroad: Several weeks spent making and/or studying art in another country, under the guidance of a CCA faculty member.

International exchange semesters are designed for third-year undergraduates who are proficient in their media, in good academic standing, and independently motivated.

Summer study abroad courses have individual academic requirements. Students should check the prerequisites for the particular course in which they are interested.

For additional information about the International Exchange Program and study abroad or to make an appointment with an advisor, please contact the International Student Affairs and Programs (ISAP) office at 510.594.5071, or by email at isap@cca.edu.

Information sessions are held each year in September and February, and applications deadlines are October 1 for spring semester programs and April 1 for fall semester programs.
