Columbia College Hollywood was established in 1952 as a branch campus of Columbia College in Chicago in the Los Angeles neighbourhood of MacArthur Park.
The focus of the course was on the rapidly rising television and radio industries. Columbia College Hollywood broke away from the Chicago university in 1959 to become a private, non-profit institution.
Columbia College Hollywood expanded along with the movie and television businesses through its early years, ultimately relocating from MacArthur Park to a bigger facility on La Brea Ave in central Hollywood in 1970. Whenever the institution relocated through into former Panavision offices within Tarzana district of Los Angeles in 1997, it built its current location.
Columbia College Hollywood bought Tribeca Flashpoint College, a creative media school in Chicago, Illinois, in 2018, and then it became Columbia College Hollywood’s first branch campus, currently known as Flashpoint Chicago, a Columbia College Hollywood campus.
