Apply to California College of the Arts

Two ways to submit your application

CCA practices rolling admissions, which means applications can be submitted for review after the priority deadlines listed below; however, if you wish to be considered for merit and diversity scholarships, you should apply by the priority deadline appropriate to you. Need-based scholarships will continue to be awarded to qualified applicants who submit a late application.

CCA application and program requirements

All graduate applicants should complete the CCA Application, and then submit any additional required materials as determined and directed by their program listed below. Be sure to view the graduate application checklist, too.

Applications submitted by the graduate priority deadline will be given consideration for institutional merit scholarships as well as priority processing for application reviews with faculty. Applications received after priority deadline will be considered on a rolling basis.
