What kind of person should attend Columbia College Chicago?

Craig

Definitly someone who can appreciate professionalism yet artistic values.

Joshua

Columbia College Chicago is a school you go to because you have to, people are drawn there by the passion of the incredible staff and students. Anyone with a sincere passion for the arts is welcome there, but I tell people that if they can't see yourselves being satisfied doing anything but pursuing your art for the rest of their lives, I wouldn't suggest it. Columbia is intensive and every class period is dedicated to hands on work. Only people that are willing to put more time into their homework than they do sitting in class survive.

Katrina

In one simple answer; anyone who has a passion for any kind of art. Anyone could attend Columbia College. There is no "normal," there is no "popular," there are no "outcasts." Because, in a way, we are all outcasts. We are all people who have passion for art; something which is not always accepted in every area of the country. We all come together and form a union of creative spirits, all working towards a more diverse and artistic world.

A person that wants to pursue something in the art industry, anything that has to do with music, theatre, dance, etc. You can also major in children education and also we have sign language that can be your major. It's best to check the school out before you apply because you have to make sure that you fit in this school because you might not like it.
