INFORMATION
Faculty
These courses are taught, for the most part, by Otis/
Parsons regular faculty. The college faculty is
supplemented by lecturers and critics drawn from the
wealth of professional artists and designers in Los
Angeles.
Admission and Fees
Admission is non-selective. No portfolios or academic
records are required. However, class sizes are limited
and registration forms will be accepted in the order in
which they are received. All courses run simultaneously. Therefore, it is only possible to take one
course during the summer.
Scholarships
A limited number of tuition scholarships are available
to Pre-College summer students who are unable to
provide the full cost of the program. Students may
apply for the scholarships by submitting the
Scholarship Application together with a portfolio of
ten pieces of work no later than June 1st. Scholarship
awards are credited towards tuition only and do not
cover living or supply expenses for the summer
program. Although portfolios will be reviewed as part
of the scholarship selection process, financial need
will be the primary factor in determining the
scholarship awards.
Classes and Schedules
These courses will be of particular value to those
students about to enter their last year of high school.
Their purpose is to offer students an opportunity to
experience their field of interest, to advance their art
and design abilities, and to give guidance in the
selection of art study at the college level. All classes
meet on a full-time basis from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., five
days per week, for 6 weeks. One day per week will be
devoted to a special lecture series given by Los
Angeles artists and a film series arranged by
Otis/Parsons.
Housing
Otis/Parsons maintains a list of available apartments
and dormitory-style rooms in the vicinity of the
school. Costs vary, but a reasonable average of
$150-$250 can be expected. The staff will be pleased
to advise non-commuting students regarding living
accommodations.
Grading and Credit
Students will receive the grade of A, B, C, D or F for
work completed in these courses. The grade will
become a part of Otis/Parsons permanent files.
Transcripts of grades and credits will be available for
all purposes of transfer or admission to other
institutions. The College is fully accredited by the
Western Association of Schools and Colleges andl the
National Association of Schools of Art.
