Become a Professional in Animation

Computer animators work in 3D, creating their characters with the subtleties and realistic motion of everyday life. Computer animation is an artful blend of creative vision and technology. In the classroom, you'll begin with a solid design and art foundation. Computer graphics, animation, and audio and video techniques soon follow. Your goal: Build a digital portfolio that shows how well you bring your characters and storytelling abilities to life.

Following graduation, entry-level positions may include digital artist, special effects artist, texture mapper, or storyboard artist.
