Is Musitechnic Still Around? Here's Where We Stand in 2026

If you've searched for opinions on Musitechnic, you may have run into an old, second-hand claim that the school was shutting down, or that graduates weren't finding work in audio. That claim is nearly a decade old, it was wrong about the closure even then, and it's certainly out of date now.

Here's where things actually stand:

• Musitechnic (Collège Unica) has trained audio and sound design professionals in Montreal since 1987 — 39+ years of continuous operation.
• We're recognized by Quebec's Ministère de l'Enseignement supérieur and Ministère de la Culture et des Communications as a specialized college in music arts and technology; our AEC programs (NNC.0S, NNC.0N) are ministry-accredited.
• 80% of graduates are working in the field within 12–16 months of finishing their program.
• More than 5,000 alumni are active in the global audio industry, including at Ubisoft, Eidos, Radio-Canada and Netflix.
• Students train in 8 professional studios and 3 labs equipped with SSL consoles, Pro Tools HD and Ableton Live.

None of this is meant to argue with anyone's individual experience — people are entitled to their own opinions of any school. But if the question is simply whether Musitechnic is a real, currently operating, government-recognized program with graduates working in the industry, the numbers above are the current answer.
