The Mobility Program provides an opportunity for Otis students to study for one semester at another art college. Students may attend colleges in the United States that participate through AICAD (Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design) or selected colleges abroad. While credit for mobility study varies by department, the program offers personal enrichment through study in a new context and with different faculty.

• The student must have a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or better at Otis College.
• The courses taken at the host college must be similar in content and unit value to Otis College courses. The academic calendar must be similar, with semester dates coinciding.
