Location
CCS is located in Detroit's Midtown, where students will find a
variety of activities near campus to enrich their studies and
provide entertainment. The Detroit Film Theatre and the Detroit
Institute of Arts, one of the largest art museums in the country,
are both located next to CCS's Walter and Josephine Ford
campus. Admission to the DIA is free for CCS students. The
Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, the
largest of its kind in the country, is also located next to campus.
University and public libraries, galleries, great restaurants, and
live music venues showcasing indie rock, hip hop, techno, folk,
jazz and blues also can be found close by.
While Detroit offers all the advantages you would expect from a
big city, it is unique in many ways. For one, it‘s affordable. The
city is also one of the largest markets in the country for
advertising, industrial design and publishing – which means
students have access to internships, jobs, and faculty mentors
who are active in their fields. Ultimately, Detroit has been
known for making things – this combination of craftsmanship
and technology makes it a perfect place for an art and design
school.
Detroit is just starting its next story.
Become a part of it.
Artists and designers, young professionals and entrepreneurs of
all backgrounds are creating the next Detroit. Affordable access
to living and working spaces, a vibrant and socially minded
culture, the lure of new adventure, the opportunity to
collaborate with an international community of creatives and
the ease of becoming an entrepreneur – are just some of the
characteristics that are aiding the resurgence of our multifaceted

6. city.
The College for Creative Studies lives inside Detroit’s Midtown
area. You’ll find yourself just steps away from iconic places
like the Motown Museum, the Detroit Film Theatre and the
Detroit Institute of Arts - one of the country’s largest museums.
We’re surrounded by artisanal coffee shops, design boutiques,
art galleries, live music venues that belt out indie, garage,
EDM, hip-hop, folk, jazz, blues and so much more.

History
For more than a century, the College for Creative Studies (CCS)
has distinguished itself as one of the premier institutions of
higher learning in the world. The current College traces its
heritage back to 1906 when a group of local civic leaders,
inspired by the English Arts and Crafts movement, formed the
Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts. The Society’s mission was to

15. keep the ideals of beauty and craftsmanship alive in what was
rapidly becoming an industrialized world. At their original
location on Farmer Street, Society members began teaching
informal classes in basic design, drawing and woodcarving. In
1911, they opened a gallery where students as well as prominent
modern artists displayed and sold their work.
As Detroit’s creative community continued to take root, the
Society recognized the need to expand. They moved to a larger
location on Watson Street (1916), and 10 years later became one
of the first arts and crafts organizations to offer a formal, four-
year program in art (1926). Within a year, the Art School of the
Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts grew to an enrollment of 280
students.
Much of the school’s success was attributed to its close
integration of rigorous courses with progression of the art and
design movements and world-class, contemporary exhibitions—
a tradition that continues to prevail. In addition to hiring
talented, local artists and designers, the school sought renowned
painters, sculptors and craftspeople from around the world to
teach courses. In 1933, the Society’s gallery garnered national
media attention as one of the first art institutions to recognize
the automobile as an art form. This was around the same time
that programs in industrial design and commercial art were
introduced to the school’s curriculum.
The school relocated for a third time in 1958 to its current
location near the city’s cultural center. The move provided
students with more convenient access to the Detroit Institute of
Arts’ impressive collection. All classes and offices were
initially housed in the Arts & Crafts building designed by
Minoru Yamasaki.
In 1962, the school officially became a college when the
Michigan Department of Education authorized the institution to
offer of a Bachelor of Fine Arts in industrial design. Eight years
later, the College was awarded the right to provide degrees in
all of their major programs. The National Association of
Schools of Art and Design (NASAD) granted original

16. accreditation in 1972, and the North Central Association of
Colleges and Schools (NCA) granted regional accreditation in
1977.
The next four decades brought about several improvements and
significant changes to the campus. In 1975, construction of the
architectural award-winning Kresge-Ford Building was
completed, and the Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts changed
its name to the Center for Creative Studies—College of Art and
Design. The school acquired an apartment building adjacent to
campus (the Art Centre building) in 1988 that serves as the
main dormitory on campus and the building that formerly
housed Detroit’s African American Museum of History in 1997
that was later transformed into the Academic Resource Center
(now the Manoogian Visual Resource Center), which contains
the Center Galleries and library. A parking structure was added
to the campus in 1999, and in the fall of 2001, the college
inaugurated the Walter B. Ford II building for design and
technology-driven disciplines. The donation to fund this project
was the largest ever given to an art college at the time. That
year, two historic homes on the northern side of campus were
also renovated to accommodate administration and admissions
offices.
The year 2001 brought about a milestone critical to the future of
the school. Results of a research study led to the Board of
Trustees’ decision to change the school’s name to the College
for Creative Studies (CCS) to more clearly communicate its
identity as an accredited, degree-granting “college.”
The Josephine F. Ford Sculpture Garden was added in the fall of
2005 to provide a gathering place for the campus community,
and in 2007, the College renovated another home on historic
Ferry Street to house the Institutional Advancement and Human
Resources offices.
In 2008, CCS embarked on its most significant project to date—
a $145 million redevelopment of the 760,000 sq. ft. historic
Argonaut Building (formerly General Motors’ first research and
design studio). Located in Detroit’s New Center district (about

17. a mile from the original Walter and Josephine Ford Campus),
the building serves as the A. Alfred Taubman Center for Design
Education.
The Taubman Center is home to the College’s five
undergraduate design departments, graduate degree programs in
design and transportation design and the Henry Ford Academy:
School for Creative Studies, an art and design charter school for
middle and high school students. This second campus site has
enabled CCS to expand its curriculum to include new areas of
the creative industries, improve facilities for all of its
departments and connect with the local community through the
Detroit Creative Corridor Center. It represents the College’s
commitment toward accelerating metro Detroit's transition to an
innovation-based economy by renewing the infrastructure of an
important urban neighborhood; attracting, developing and
retaining talent in the creative industries; spurring research in
sustainable product development; and creating jobs and new
business opportunities. The original Ford campus continues to
house arts and crafts disciplines as well as the majority of
administrative offices.
The College’s legacy has contributed to its recognition as an
international leader in art and design education. In 2007,
Bloomberg Business Week
listed CCS among the top design schools in the world. The
College now enrolls more than 1,400 students seeking
undergraduate degrees across 12 majors and graduate degrees in
design and transportation design. CCS also offers non-credit
courses in the visual arts through its Continuing Education
programs and annually provides over 4,000 high-risk Detroit
youth with art and design education through the Community
Arts Partnerships programs.
A century of tradition shaped by some of the most brilliant
minds in the world has culminated in a truly unsurpassed
institution of higher learning—a community where the creative
spirit is free to soar.

22. Catering Services
From basic coffee services to outdoor events of unlimited
numbers, our goal is to provide you with a full range of quality
and innovative catering services backed by a diverse, service-
oriented staff and a wide range of resources available from our
international network.
As a catering service, our main function is Food! Our trained,
professional staff is dedicated to providing the highest level of
catering services. The quality of your food, however, does not
rest upon the chefs alone. Every member of the Catering
Department receives monthly training on food and beverage
services, as well as day-to-day experience on the job.
This brochure provides you with fresh, contemporary menus.
However, this represents only a starting point. Our commitment
is to customize and create whatever is required to provide your
guests with
an unforgettable experience.

Color & Materials Library
The Color & Materials Library is a unique resource that is a
combination of a traditional library and a materials research lab.
The library collection includes over 75 periodicals, about 2000
books and hundreds of material samples. The collection of
books and magazines focuses on product design, materials,
graphic design, interior design, advertising, transportation
design, architecture, fashion, and trends. The frequently updated
materials collection consists of over 1000 reference samples of
textiles, metals, plastics, wood, bamboo, cork, glass, paper, and
color swatches. The library subscribes annually to New York
based Material ConneXion’s electronic database and is available
to all students and faculty. In addition, the library provides the
full Pantone Color Reference Library and is in the process of
adding Pantone Plastic chips to the collection.
The Color & Materials Library has a lab of 4 computer stations
and 2 scanners for students to scan materials since the materials
are for library use only. The library houses a Gretag MACBETH

26. Light Testing Box. The box is equipped with five selectable
light sources designed to aid in color matching and evaluation.
The purpose of the materials library is to inspire creativity as
well as to introduce students to both new and traditional
materials and the companies that produce them. Students in all
disciplines at the college are encouraged to use the library’s
resources.

At the College for Creative Studies, first-year students can
enter their chosen department and concentrate their studies in
one area or spend their first semester undeclared and take an
orientation class to learn about the 12 studio majors. While
students are immersed in their chosen area of study immediately
upon entering CCS, they are also encouraged to take classes
outside of their major to broaden their skills. Students are
required to take courses in our
foundation
program to help establish the basics and give students a taste of
the different paths they can follow. Additionally, students will
take courses in
liberal arts
to help make their studies as well rounded as possible and have
the option to choose an
academic minor
or the
business concentration
.
Each department emphasizes four distinct components of a
visual arts education: technical skill, aesthetic sensibility,
conceptual ability, and practical experience, combining studio
and academic classes with more individualized instruction.

The College for Creative Studies Master of Fine Arts program
builds on the College's legacy of art and design education
excellence and is adapted to meet the demands of a globally
competitive environment. As such, the Graduate program
focuses on fostering critical thinking in a design context while
keeping contemporary business reality in mind. CCS graduate
classes are taught by industry leaders and an internationally
recognized roster of visiting designers and artists with
experience in design strategy, user-centric research, design
execution and presentation, as well as entrepreneurial practices.
The College attracts an internationally diverse student body to
study in cutting-edge state-of-the art studio facilities, with
access to advanced technological capabilities.
Our approach begins with designers - talented, schooled and
experienced – who are interested in advancing their theoretical
or practical design skills to the next stage of their careers. Our
goals include providing our graduates with the knowledge to
shorten the time frame typically required to learn business
practices on the job. They also include honing the necessary

30. skills to become innovators as well as to build and lead creative
teams that drive business results. While other programs tend to
focus on the analysis of research and the verbalization of
criteria or the making of conceptual and beautiful work only,
CCS MFA integrates both and transforms ideas into applicable
and relevant solutions.
Precollege & Continuing Studies
