Well if you took liberal art courses in your Bachelors degree for graphic design, they would essentially be the same or should be. Unfortounately the fashion program doesnt run throughout the year, they only do fall and spring.
taking your liberal art classes during the summer would be a waste of time, because at otis you’re billed the same amount for taking 12 units to taking 18 units. they only charge you per unit if you go under 12 units or over 18 units per semester. some of the liberal art units you can take outside of class include math, social sciences, and english(if and only if you do it before you enroll at Otis, once you’re at otis you’re not allowed to take english or art history off campus). the math and social sciences can be completed at a community college, it just has to fall under the igetc requirements of the UCs,

The internships I speak of, is about husstling, and thats a crash course in wh at the industry will be like. YOu have to take the initiative in seeking those internships by going on every designers website, getting the contact info, emailing, calling, asking etc. The school does have some connections but like i said its only with LA companies, and there are hardly TOP DESIGN companies in LA. the school doesn’t provide you with internships, they provide a means of finding internships through career services, but that doesn’t guarantee you one. I would start contacting companies(if you’re doing this on your own, ie hitting up fashion houses, at least by the december/january time to do summer internships)
ps i emailed you some info did you get it
