Apply to CCS « The Center for Cartoon Studies

The Center for Cartoon Studies (CCS) is looking for well-rounded students who are committed to creating visual narratives. We want students who can think and will work hard. Limited drawing skills are OK if they are offset by a fearless commitment to putting images on paper. CCS welcomes comic and non-comic book geeks alike. We love art, English, history, philosophy, religion, and graphic design majors, and those with a liberal arts background.
