Center for Cartoon Studies
- Center for Cartoon Studies
class size is currently 20 students and the school's eventual capacity is planned to be around 40 students.
The school educates students to be proficient in all aspects of graphic design and production, including self-publication and promotion. This is a notable step away from the specialized production model of mainstream comics companies such as Marvel Comics and DC Comics, wherein writing, pencilwork, inking, coloring, and lettering are most often handled by separate individuals. This inclination is in part due to many of the faculty's and significant donor Peter Laird's experience with alternative comics. The State of Vermont Department of Education approved CCS for degree granting authority. CCS is an independent school and is not accredited.
