MTM College

• Max The Mutt College of Animation, Design and Art (MTM),formerly known as Max the Mutt Animation School, and Studio M, was founded in 1997 as a Private Career College under the Private Career Colleges Act, 2005 with the Ontario Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development (Registration number:101408).

• MTM offers three four-year college diploma programs, including Animation, Concept Art, and Illustration & Storytelling for Sequential Arts. The curriculum is largely designed, regularly reviewed and updated by practicing animation professionals. The faculty are both fulltime and part-time instructors.

• Additionally, MTM regularly offers short-term workshops and training courses, career development certificate programs. Over the last 25 years, MTM has produced approximately 4,000 graduates who have entered the animation industry. Many of these graduates have joined animation studios such as Pixar, Walt Disney Animation Studios, and DreamWorks, or created their own studios. MTM currently has about 200 students.

Under a 2+2 program, MTM students will be able to directly transfer to a public university for the remaining two years of study for bachelor’s degree after they have completed the first two years of study at MTM. MTM is also preparing to file an application to convert all of its three college diploma programs to university bachelor’s degree programs with Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities.

• These bachelor’s degree programs are expected to be housed in one of our three campuses, located at 200 and 260Town Center Blvd., Markham, Ontario. We are the sole owner of these two buildings that have a total floor area of 100,000 square feet. MTM programs have developed an exceptional reputation both nationally and internationally, which will enhance MTM’s opportunity to attract highly talented students from all over the globe.

The market demand for graduates of animation programs has been rapidly expanding in recent years. MTM entered into an agreement in 2018 with Duncan Of Jordan stone College of Art and Design, or Duncan College, located in Dundee, Scotland, for collaborative education.

• MTM students can be admitted to Duncan College for a one-year master’s program after they have successfully completed the four-year college diploma program at MTM. This is known as a”4+1 program. “MTM is also developing a”2+2 program“ with two Canadian public universities (Trent University and Brock University) in disciplines related to animation and art education.
