California College of ASU, known as Columbia College Hollywood until 2023, was a private college in Los Angeles, California, United States. Founded in 1953 as a branch campus of Columbia College Chicago, it offered a curriculum focused on the radio, television, and film industries. It was one of 20 film schools in the United States to be a full member of the International Association of Film and Television Schools (CILECT) and was accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges Senior College and University Commission.
The numbers here raise serious concerns — only 36% of freshmen return for sophomore year, and just 48% of students ultimately graduate, suggesting many students struggle to finish what they start. Median earnings of $39,500 a decade after enrollment are modest, especially weighed against $25,000 in debt at graduation. Worth considering only if you have a very specific reason to choose this school over other LA-area options with stronger outcomes.
