California College of the Arts (CCA) was San Francisco's last nonprofit art college, offering education in art, architecture, and design. Following a period of financial deficits, its San Francisco and Oakland campuses were purchased by Vanderbilt University, and CCA is set to cease operations at the end of the 2026-27 academic year. The campuses will house the new Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang College of Art, Architecture and Design, funded by tech benefactors, with a curriculum pivoting towards engineering, entrepreneurship, and design, bridging creative expression and technological innovation.
The public category test is directional and too small to support a high-confidence rating.
