CCA Student Development

Welcome to Caine College of the Arts (CCA) Student Development. We are committed to our students' success and strive to serve the unique needs of each student. As artists, we have challenges in- and outside the classroom exclusive to disciplines in the arts. Our goal is to help students grow personally and professionally in their field, the arts, and the community.

To this end, we have a holistic approach that positively contributes to the overall CCA student experience. We achieve student success by making academic support, counseling and psychological services, accessibility services, leadership opportunities, research services, entrepreneurship, and a sense of belonging more accessible to all our students.

Student Development provides innovative student-centered activities, programs, and services that

  • Fosters the emotional growth and personal development of students
  • Recognize the educational benefits of differing viewpoints for students
  • Optimize transformative student learning and leadership, in- and outside of the classroom
  • Emphasize student engagement and overall student well-beingĀ
