"Vanderbilt University plans to open a new full-time campus in San Francisco beginning in 2027, subject to securing the required regulatory approvals.

Vanderbilt anticipates that its San Francisco campus eventually will serve approximately 1,000 students. It represents one more step in the Nashville-based university’s growing national footprint, which also includes recent expansions in New York City and West Palm Beach.

Vanderbilt and the California College of the Arts have agreed for Vanderbilt to acquire CCA’a campus after the college ceases operations at the end of the 2026-27 academic year. Under the terms of the agreement, Vanderbilt will then own the campus, which will be home to both undergraduate and graduate programming, including art and design programs.

Vanderbilt plans to honor CCA’s legacy in several ways after it takes over the campus. It will operate a CCA Institute at Vanderbilt which will include the Wattis Institute of Contemporary Arts. It also will maintain CCA archival materials and continue to provide for CCA alumni engagement.".... (more)
