Wikipedia, via WWW, October 20, 2016 (California College of the Arts (CCA) is an art, design, architecture, and writing school founded in 1907; it has campuses in San Francisco and Oakland, and it enrolls approximately 1,500 undergraduates and 500 graduate students; CCA was founded by Frederick Meyer in Berkeley as the School of the California Guild of Arts and Crafts during the height of the Arts and Crafts movement; in 1908 the school was renamed California School of Arts and Crafts, and in 1936 it became the California College of Arts and Crafts (CCAC); the college's Oakland campus location was acquired in 1922, when Meyer bought the four-acre James Treadwell estate at Broadway and College Avenue; the Oakland campus still houses the more traditional, craft based studios like the art glass, jewelry metal arts, printmaking, painting, sculpture and ceramic programs; in recognition of the institution's growth and the broadening of its focus and offerings, in 2003 the college changed its name to California College of the Arts)
