Description

Whether you’re an established artist looking for more training, you want a marketable trade in the arts or you’re interested in teaching art, Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, California has the program for you.

Otis College of Art and Design offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in Fine Arts, Toy Design, Product Design, Architecture, Fashion Design, Graphic Art, Communication Arts and Creative Writing. For those who have an interest in more than one of these areas there is also an Interdisciplinary Arts degree.

For students who wish to sharpen skills or want to explore a career in art without committing to a degree, there are numerous certificate programs available. These are offered in the same fields as the degree programs as well as additional fields like photography, but take much less time to complete. Otis also offers a program for those who wish to teach art at the K-12 level.

The community at Otis is intensely art-focused. There are a number of labs, such as the printmaking lab, the woodworking lab and the photograph darkroom, where students may work on projects. A fine arts complex on campus houses several art galleries where student and non-student work is exhibited.

The career services department at Otis hosts internship fairs, provides extensive online support through online job boards, and offers training in resume writing and interviewing.

Financial aid is offered to eligible students in the form of loans, grants and scholarships.
