Curriculum in Residence
The Center for Collaborative Arts and Media (CCAM) at Yale collaborates with courses from across the university to develop unique curricular experiences that activate the center’s creative and technical spaces.
- A short-term collaboration, with the course meeting one to three times for a specific engagement or project, such as an end-of-semester class showing, or
- A semester-long collaboration, with the course meeting regularly at CCAM.
Building upon years of course collaborations, CCAM has launched its Curriculum in Residence for the 2023–2024 academic year.

Application Process
We will soon be announcing the CCAM Curriculum in Residence for the Spring 2024 semester. Applications for the Fall 2024 semester will open soon. To prepare, you can view the application here.
We will be making decisions before November recess, and a member(s) of the CCAM team may follow up with a request for additional information before then.
Please note:
- Only courses that are part of the CCAM Curriculum in Residence will be offered teaching space at CCAM.
- In considering proposals, we will do our best to balance demand and space availability around the center’s programming and other offerings.
- The CCAM Curriculum in Residence also includes courses taught by CCAM team members, which receive priority.
- Courses with a clear proposal to activate CCAM’s creative and technical spaces will receive the strongest consideration.
The CCAM Curriculum in Residence collaboration includes:
- 3 x 1 hour consultations with a CCAM team member(s) to review the course syllabus and develop the scope and goals of the collaboration.
- Course meetings in CCAM’s creative and technical spaces, pending availability and scheduling.
- The opportunity to present a showing of student work from the course at CCAM at the end of the semester-long or short-term collaboration (to be produced and advertised by the course professor and/or their Teaching Assistant or Fellow).
- Additional time (pending availability) in the designated CCAM space(s) for students to work on their assignments or projects associated with the collaboration.
- An honorarium ($100 for short-term collaborations, $400 for semester-long) distributed at the beginning of the collaboration, which may be used to assist with materials for use in the collaboration and/or to support inviting a guest speaker for the course. This amount will be transferred by CCAM to the faculty member’s home department or school for funds distribution.
The creative and technical spaces available to the CCAM Curriculum in Residence include the:
- CCAM Leeds Studio (a black-box studio equipped with motion-capture, projection-mapping systems, full-room video recording and live-streaming systems),
- CCAM Mac Lab (a classroom offering 10 Mac workstations installed with Adobe Suite, DaVinci Resolve, and other software by request), and
- CCAM PC Lab (a small production studio with 6 PC 3D/rendering/immersive development workstations).
Note: The Leeds Studio and the Mac Lab offer a Crestron A/V setup with one large projection screen. The PC Lab has a flatscreen with an HDMI cable and adaptors for both Mac and PC laptops.
