Mobility Program
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.
