California Institute of the Arts

Program Overview

Both undergraduate and graduate composers are provided with individual mentoring and guidance, coaching and instruction by a stylistically diverse array of world-class artists who are at the cutting edge of aesthetic and technical developments in the field. BFA composers are given the tools to establish a musical practice and find their voice, while MFA performers are given space to dabble and experiment within and beyond their individual practice. In keeping with the Institute's spirit of artistic exploration, the faculty encourages composition students to seek out interschool collaboration opportunities with filmmakers, directors, dancers, designers and other artists throughout the Institute.
