  1. How does Max the Mutt differ from other colleges and universities?

    Unlike some other schools, Max the Mutt keep classes small, which allows for more individual instruction, and
    trains students to meet the realistic demands of the
    workplace. Our students body is diverse, including many international students and ranging in age from 17 to 40 plus.

    The majority of our instructors continue to be active in their professional fields, which allows them to bring current industry knowledge to their students. These dedicated professionals come to Max the Mutt because of the committed students. For more specific information about our instructors and their work backgrounds, please see the “Faculty Page.”

  2. Are Max the Mutt graduates finding jobs?

    Yes! Our track record with graduates finding work with
    major companies and studios is very impressive.

    • Between 2014-2018, our post-graduation employment rate was 81% for Animation graduates, and 79% for Concept Art graduates.
    • We are only entering the 3rd year of our first our-year Illustration & Storytelling for Sequential Arts program, so we don’t have rates for that program yet. However, our graduates from our 3 year Illustration program have gone on to develop successful careers as freelance artists, as comic book artists, graphic novel artists, graphic designers and storyboard artists.

    Check our Alumni page to learn more about our graduates.

  4. What is the grading system?

    Students are graded as follows:

    • LOW PASS
    • PASS
    • HIGH PASS
    • PASS WITH HONOURS
    • REPEAT

    To receive a PASS in any course students must in addition to course content, receive a PASS in Professional Behaviour; this requires that the student demonstrates an ability to take direction, an ability to meet deadlines, to treat everyone with respect, to demonstrate effort and focus, and a professional level of attendance and punctuality. Without a PASS in Professional Behaviour, the final grade will not be higher than a LOW PASS.
