Our costs are competitive. Our value is proven.
When comparing tuition costs to our peer institutions across the United States, CCAD is, on average, approximately 10% less per year. While that’s a significant number, it’s only a starting point. Because when you consider our approach of awarding scholarships to every accepted undergraduate student, CCAD represents an even greater value. The goal, of course, is to make CCAD what every family wants. More affordable than our peers. And more accessible than ever. Which is a goal we accomplish every day.
An art and design college that prioritizes critical thinking. Smart.
Studio time will always be an important part of our approach to academics. But that time becomes even more valuable when it’s combined with a well-rounded education that emphasizes critical thinking, as well as essential communication and business skills. It’s an academic structure that creates better artists and designers. And more thoughtful people.
