Hi guys,

I am looking for a transportation design school that has the lowest tuition.

I have contacted the Univ. of Cinncinatti and they asked me to pay 2,4000 per a year x4.

This is too much to me.

My current school is California State University of Long Beach, and I pay about $1,300 per a semester. I am satisfied with this.



Do you know, any school that has the lowest tution and can you tell me how much it will cost me to major the trans. design degree?

I am an international student.

And also, if I can not afford the tuition, what are my options to major trans. design?

Thank you!

Trans. design schools are pretty expensive. However, there is a school in Sweden, UMEA. They have free tution even if you are a nonresident, maybe look into that.

I just read your intial post again, you mentioned your at CSULB, same school I'm at. Yeah, we don't have anything trans. related.

Are you taking any classes in the design department this term?

Thanks, cel.

No, I just finished %98 of the General Education.

I haven't decided the major yet, nor taking any class related to the design.

I am a complete newbie on any design field.

I am in the way of deciding a major... once I thought I was going for Electrical Engineering, but found out it is not for me.

I checked out the Swedish school, and for the bachalor's degree, they only accept the Swedish speaking students.

Are you in the design's department?

Can you give me more advice?


Once again, thanks!

Some advice would be to just walk through the design building and take a look at the display cases. Plus there is a senior show exhibit in the gallery, but make sure to take a look at it ASAP cause stuff moves out of the gallery really quick.

Just a quick run down on things...there is no portfolio requirement to enter the program, however, only catch is that to get up to junior year, you need to pass a portfolio review. They only let about 20 or so in a year. Review consists of work done in particular classes. Plus since the degree is a BS, we have to take 2 physics classes.

Other than that, you'll learn perspective drawing, AutoCAD, Solidworks, marker rendering, modeling, etc.

At any rate, hope it helps.

I guess you can look into either CS San Jose or Savannah College of Art? I've seen cars come out of their Industrial Design programs before. Not sure how much are the tuitions though.

isnt coventry somewhat cheaper than Art center or ccs? unless if i effed up on the currency calculation :-P

european design schools are much cheaper than any american design schools but thats only the case for european students. if you're an international student comming from US, its actually more expensive than any design schools in america.

CS San Jose is the same price at Long Beach, and they also are primarily a product school. Savannah College of Art runs 24K a year, I guess they do "some" trans., but doesn't look like a lot really..
