Nashville-based Vanderbilt University will establish an academic campus serving full-time students in San Francisco beginning in 2027, subject to necessary regulatory approvals. The research university will take over the campus and other assets of the California College of the Arts, which will wind down operations.

Vanderbilt is making the move as part of a broader strategy to advance interdisciplinary education and innovation beyond its home base, following recent expansions in New York City and West Palm Beach. The new San Francisco campus is expected to serve about 1,000 undergraduate and graduate students

“San Francisco offers an extraordinary environment for learning at the intersection of innovation, creativity and technology, and it provides an unparalleled setting for Vanderbilt to shape the future of higher education,” said Vanderbilt Chancellor Daniel Diermeier. “By establishing a significant full-time presence here, Vanderbilt is expanding the ways our students and faculty engage with the world’s most innovative cities and advancing our core mission of education and discovery.”
