Columbia College Chicago believes that faculty who are actively engaged in the subjects they teach are uniquely qualified to share their expertise in the classroom. We actively seek faculty who are accomplished in their fields, who bring their professional experience, along with industry-current aesthetics, techniques, and viewpoints to the classroom.
Among the faculty listed here, you'll find Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists, Emmy Award-winning producers, and nationally recognized photographers, managers, artists, actors, writers, designers, dancers, and advertising and marketing professionals - faculty who do what they teach.
