About Chicago
Learn, practice, work, make art, make film, make waves - you can do all of this and more on our campus. That's because it isn't a collection of buildings, a dozen frat houses, and a couple of patches of rolling green boredom.
It's Chicago. The nation's third largest city. World renowned for the blues and improvisation. Home to more than 125 theatre organizations and venues. The place where you can intern on a Hollywood film by day and attend a half dozen gallery openings by night. The place where major corporations, public relations agencies, television stations, and arts organizations live - and look for talent, originality, and skills.
Columbia is located in the South Loop, within walking distance of major parks and museums, and a short train ride away from lots more.
