Founded in 1967 as The School of Graphic Design, Sheridan College has grown from a local college of 400 students to one of Ontario’s leading post-secondary institutions, educating thousands of students every year on three campuses in three Ontario cities – Oakville, Brampton and Mississauga.
It offers more than 120 programmes across five faculties, including 25 degree programmes in animation and illustration, creative writing and publishing, musical theatre, film and design, business, applied computing, engineering technology, community studies and liberal studies among others.
Sheridan College is often considered the top animation school in the world outside the United States by Animation Career Review and a significant number of graduates have held key positions at Walt Disney Animation Studios, Don Bluth Productions, Pixar Animation Studios, and DreamWorks Animation, both for traditional and CGI animation.
Its Canadian Music Theatre Project (CMTP) is an international centre of excellence for the development of new musicals in Canada. Since it was launched in 2011, 15 shows have been incubated, including Come From Away, which opened on Broadway in 2017 and received a Tony Award nomination for Best Musical.
Being located across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) means Sheridan students get unlimited access to some of Canada's busiest cities.
