CalArts’ pedagogical model values a wide range of voices and experiences as a key component of a rich learning environment. As part of a larger vision of artistic and pedagogical equity and inclusion, and a belief in the impact of this inclusive pedagogy in the arts on the future of democracy and the well-being of our social fabric, CalArts is committed to developing transfer pathways from community colleges with whom we are developing program-specific transfer agreements.
While these transfer agreements do not guarantee admission, they do chart partner community colleges’ courses transferable to CalArts and help students prepare admissible portfolios with the possibility of higher year-level placement upon admission. Faculty and staff at CalArts and our partner community colleges work closely together to support students for this transition.
CalArts has transfer agreements with community colleges throughout the region, allowing their students to potentially enter CalArts as a junior and save up to two years’ worth of tuition costs.
