FAQS
Do I need to send in an application and images of my work to get accepted to the program?
An application is required, and we ask that you share a few images of drawings or other artwork, if available.
Do I have to pay for the program all at once?
No, you pay “as you go.” When you register for a class, you’ll pay for that class.
What if I can’t follow the 9-month schedule to take the entire sequence?
You don’t need to follow the 9-month schedule. Take classes on your own timetable, and in any order. To complete the certificate, you will need to complete six required classes and two electives.
What if I need to take time off during the program?
Students are allowed up to one calendar year of time off during the 9-month sequence. Please contact the Program Director if you have a situation that requires you to take frequent time off.
How much time is required outside of class for the program?
Comics are a fluid medium. Some people choose to explore the vast range of possibilities of form and content for which comics as a medium allows and find themselves investing time into these explorations. Others find that they can achieve wonderful results within a manageable amount of time they have available to them weekly. Different instructors have different requirements for their courses. 3-7 hours.
