The school participates in Portland Fashion Week, and produces its own show of graduate work each year.
The school is s part of The Art Institutes, owned by Education Management Corporation (EDMC), a private for-profit corporation headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was formerly named Bassist College and was acquired by EDMC in 1998. Bassist was founded in 1963 by Norma and Donald Bassist as a fashion institute for women.
A required course schedule of four full-time (15 credit hours, or five course) quarters, including summer term, makes it possible to complete a four-year degree in three years.
