MFA Graphic Design:
The 2 1/2-year program is for conscientious individuals who believe that design has the power to contribute to and shape our world. It includes three consecutive eight-week summer sessions in residence and two spring sessions of mentored off-campus independent study. Participants select from three individual themes or tracks: typography and type design, social responsibility of the artist in society, and advancing the discipline through theory and innovation. Core faculty, visiting lecturers, and visiting artists lead project-specific assignments; individual projects; liberal arts courses focusing on history, theory, and criticism; and a thesis project.

Otis also offers a BFA in Communications Arts which includes the following majors: Graphic Design, Illustration, and Advertising.
