Otis College of Art and Design, California Institute of the Arts or Art Center College of Design?

<p>I am currently a student at Northern Kentucky University looking to transfer to one of these schools. I've herd good things about all 3 but I can't decide which one would be best for graphic design. Any recommendations or advice? Also, I am looking to transfer for fall 2015, my current GPA will probably be a 3.2 or 3.5 & my portfolio is pretty good.</p>

<p>I’d suggest also posting this question in the [Visual</a> Arts](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/visual-arts-film-majors/][b]Visual”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/visual-arts-film-majors/) forum.</p>

<p>The three schools are good. Art Center has let it’s program slip a bit, in part, because they are having a hard time reconciling the rules from other languages, i.e., you can’t cut pieces of Japanese letter characters off and have it mean the same thing like you can with English characters. Every language has it’s own rules. For many years Art Center was an English only environment.</p>

<p>In the end choose the one that will yield the best financial advantages. You don’t want to end up owing 150 k (1 k a month) on a discipline that will only pay 30 k a year. The quick test is, look for the school that has biggest endowment and smallest enrollment.</p>

<p>Off the cuff I’d say CIT first, Otis second on your list but ultimately, you will do a portfolio review and transfer and they may or may not take you at the year you are in at your current university. So, if one school says you can come in as a freshman and another says we’ll take you as a sophomore, you may want to choose based on that.</p>
