About Columbia College Chicago
Columbia College Chicago is a college for creatives, founded in 1890 and accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. We are a liberal arts college that offers majors in creative disciplines; students are immersed from day one in a practice-based, multidisciplinary education in media, fine, and performing arts.
The college’s mission is to position graduates to become authors of the culture of their times. At our core, we equip our students with the skills and creative confidence to reimagine the cultural realities of the world we all inhabit. Many of our students, like many of our faculty, are innovators who transform industries and even create new ones.
