California Institute of the Arts was created in the 1960s by Walt Disney. The school offers programs in music, art, dance, film and video, animation, theater, puppetry, and writing. It puts great emphasis on interdisciplinary and contemporary art, while its main purpose is to develop exceptional artists, who will make real contributions in their field. California Institute of the Arts is organized into the following schools: School of Art, School of Critical Studies, The Sharon Disney Lund School of Dance, School of Film/Video, The Herb Alpert School of Music, and the School of Theater. What is interesting about the school is that it does not consider an applicant's GPA as part of the admission process, but rather takes admission decisions only based on the applicant’s creative talent.
