So I was looking at concept art academy in California to help build my skills as an artist but want to know if there are any other programs like it in the United States?

This question is probably better suited to a more general community like /r/learnart. This subreddit is reserved for those working through the lessons on drawabox.com, as explained here.

That said, if you're talking about Concept Design Academy, then there are other schools in that vein, but all of the ones I know of are around the LA area. I myself attended CDA, but Brainstorm School is also a similar school started some great instructors who had been teaching at CDA initially.

These schools largely exist in that area because of the major presence of entertainment industry jobs in Hollywood, so the schools come up as a response for the competitive environment. So, while there may well be other schools elsewhere in the US, there's definitely a reason they're concentrated there.
