LA Trade Tech is the best education it would be Fred in state, but living in LA is costly. He’s unlikely to become a creative director, but there are many other jobs in the industry. Most are in LA or OC some in SF. Cal Poly Pomona has merchandising. Long Beach is fashion design. Many other CC’s have fashion design, but most aren’t good. The real learning is on the job so studying near internship opportunities is essential. FIDM is leads to debt and is not better with placement. LATT has great outcomes.

LATT is probably private which will screw us because of CSS. CSULB sounds like the best option so far! -OP

No, LATTC is a community college, it just has deeper industry ties and solid reputation. It would be zero cost for most in-state students. The issue is cost of living in LA. Many other CC have fashion programs, but I wouldn't recommend them, they tend to have poor quality students and instruction, and don't cover even the basics well. LATTC has some courses that aren't offered anywhere else.

Oh I see thank you! Will check it out!

ASU is no longer participating in the WUE. They are offering discounts to out of state students for next year -- "ASU promise" or something like that? -- but not CA-specific discounts.

If you're low income, don't rule out private schools. Sometimes they are more generous with aid than even in-state public schools -- though that varies a lot.

Thank you so much! The only private I know about so far is Otis college.
