Founded in 1907, California College of the Arts (CCA) is the largest regionally accredited, independent school of art and design in the western United States.


Interior Design Program

CCA's fertile, cross-disciplinary environment provides an ideal setting in which to investigate the cultural role of interior design. Interior Design students develop projects within a convergence of environmental, architectural, and social contexts, with an emphasis on creativity and habitability. The program encourages the critical thinking necessary for an understanding of human interaction; students will gain all the conceptual and technical skills necessary to compete in today's marketplace.


Foundation courses teach a methodology of research, analysis, design, presentation, and, most importantly, concept development. During the junior year, students may participate in a unique studio program that affords travel to other cities and regions, fostering an understanding of various cultural contexts through which to explore architecture, environments, and interiors. Students then create a studio project based on that evolving knowledge and insight. Seniors complete a focused senior project and thesis.
