About California College of the Arts

Basic information and contact details for California College of the Arts

The California College of the Arts (CCA) was established in 1907 by German designer Frederick Meyer, who wanted to create an institution that integrated theory and practice in the arts to provide a leading education for artists.

Originally founded in Berkeley, today there are two CCA campuses for the 2,000 students currently enrolled. The Oakland campus hosts the CCA’s Center for Art and Public Life and is also the main undergraduate campus, home to the First Year Program and first-year halls of residence. Around half an hour away is the San Francisco campus, which hosts the graduate programs as well as some undergraduate subject fields.

With a primary focus on the practice and study of art, design, writing and architecture, this private coeducational institution offers 22 undergraduate and 13 graduate majors in a range of studies, often led by experts in their individual fields.

It is considered by many, including PayScale, BusinessWeek and US News and World Report, to be among the best art and design schools in the United States.

Some of the college faculty and alumni have become incredibly influential in art movements of recent years. Ceramicists Robert Arneson, Viola Frey and Peter Voulkos were all integral to the emergence of the 1960s ceramics movement, while Hong Kong-born film director Wayne Wang is responsible for some incredibly popular films of the past few decades, including Maid in Manhattan, The Joy Luck Club and Last Holiday. 

Nathan Oliveira, a Portuguese painter, is also among CCA’s most notable alumni, having been the subject of hundreds of solo and group exhibitions across the world.

Current evidence shows that much of immune regulation occurs locally at the site of inflammation. Recent studies have revealed important crosstalk between lymphatic endothelium and immune cells, resulting in phenotypic changes that control immune cell trafficking, fate and function. IMMENs will develop novel experimental approaches to uncover the mechanisms and therapeutic potential of lymphatic endothelial immunomodulation in homeostasis, inflammation and tumorigenesis using in vivo genetic mouse models, advanced live and intravital imaging, engineered microchip models, primary cell co-culture systems and novel microscopy and analysis methods. In this context, Vaahtomeri laboratory addresses fundamental cell and vascular biology mechanisms of cell migration/interactions Who are we looking for We are looking for candidates with a strong background in life sciences (for example, cell biology, vascular biology, immunology biochemistry, mouse models, or image analysis).
