No, it is an accredited, three year, vocational school. We do not offer
any academic courses like English, math or science. Our goal is simply
to instill within our students the skills necessary towards finding jobs in
the cartooning and commercial art field.

Please select our placement rate page for further information.

Our alumni have jobs in comic books, animation, video
games, greeting cards, advertising, graphic design, illustration and toy
design among others.

We have alumni working for many companies including Marvel, DC,
Archie Comics, Dark Horse, Image, TokyoPop, King Features Syndicate,
Hasbro Toys, Wizards of the Coast, Kenner Toys,Scholastic Books,
Henson Associates, Walt Disney Studios, Pixar, Nickelodeon, Cartoon

While the Kubert School does not prohibit part time work, it does not
encourage it, either. Ours is a demanding regimen. However, about
30%of our students engage in part time work while attending The
Kubert School. The few students who attempt full time work rarely last
at the school.

There are too many variables involved before anyone can accurately
predict a commercial artist's potential earnings. However, according to
www.careerbuilder.com, an average cartoonists annual income is
about $51,350.

We are currently accepting applications for the upcoming school year as we are on a rolling admission.

Enrollment is available to anyone who has earned a HS diploma or its
equivalent. (Foreign students must also have achieved a passing grade
in TOEFL and be able to fill out an I-20). The applicant must first fill
out the required form included in our school catalog and mail it to us

arrange either and in-person or telephone interview date. During this
interview they will present a representative sample of their artwork
consisting of 15-25 pieces.

Yes, we have two dormitory buildings in and around the town of
Dover, NJ. The buildings are reconditioned private homes. We
can accommodate 45 students in those three structures.
Although priority is usually assigned to first year students, the first
45 students to pay their rent in full for the entire year will be the
first eligible for housing. The annual rent is $5950. The rent does
not include a food service plan as we do not have a cafeteria or
restaurant in any of our dorms. There are places for the students to
prepare their own meals, but they must set aside additional
funds for food and cooking supplies. All students must share their
rooms with at least one other student. No students will have
private rooms. The students must share cooking facilities and
bathroom facilities. Each dorm is within easy walking distance
of convenience stores, pharmacies and laundromats. Two of the
dorms have private parking lots which the students can use free of
charge.

Each year at The Kubert School, our students are required to study a
mandatory curriculum of ten year- long courses. Some of these are
Basic Drawing, the Human Figure, Narrative Art, Layout, Design,
Methods & Materials, and Humor & Caricature. Business of Art is
also mandatory at the upper levels.

The school offer three years worth of study.
