Ucsb Ccs Art School

<p>Can anybody tell me everything you know about this program?</p>

<p>I read their site and plan on applying this fall as a transfer student. It sounds very competitive. If anyone has been in CCS or knows anything about it, info would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Students who are accepted to the CCS art program (you have to fill out the CCS application and submit a portfolio) are lucky beyond belief. You have access to all the art and art history classes in the university as well as the inspired small (7-12 students) studio classes at CCS itself. You get a key to the school as a freshman so that you can work in the studio any time of the day or night…you get to register for classes when the graduate students do, you get your own (shared) studio at the latest by junior year (sometimes even freshman get studios!). Because all of CCS is thought of as a ‘graduate school for undergraduates’ most of the general education requirements are set aside as you, with the input of your adviser, chart your way through the university. The staff and the professors are skilled and kind, available to teach and challenge and at the same time completely expect you to be an independent, self motivated, productive artist.</p>
