Our acclaimed Los Angeles and New York City Campuses – accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC) – are MUD’s signature educational offering in the United States. We offer comprehensive make-up programs and individual courses to prepare students for the most demanding requirements of any focus in our profession. MUD Campuses, owned and operated directly by Make-up Designory, provide the industry’s finest professional kits and materials to students through our MUD Campus stores.
We offer educational courses tailored to the needs of regional marketplaces to students outside the U.S. through MUD Studios. Today, our licensed Studio programs operate in Europe, Asia, Central America, Africa and the Middle East, with more to come. Owned and operated by licensees, each MUD Studio features everything that our successful American Campuses offer, including duplicates of our retail spaces and classrooms, designed to fully support students’ learning and creative experiences.
Throughout the U.S. and some select international locations, cosmetology and esthetician institutes offer certified MUD courses as part of their curricula through our MUD Partner Schools. This specialized educational sub-program in professional make-up offers students the opportunity to expand their beauty expertise through studying the MUD approach, as part of their larger training to be a cosmetologist or esthetician.
