Visit Otis

Los Angeles has always been a magnet for artists, dreamers, and innovators from around the world. Its sunny climate, frontier history, and open landscape encourage new ideas, diversity, and creativity. See for yourself! We encourage you to visit, either by an organized or informal tour.
Counselors are glad to help with application procedures and materials, and can answer questions about portfolio preparation, academic programs, financial aid, transfer information, student life, and careers in art and design.

You may also explore the main campus on your own by using our campus guide (pdf).
