The animation student begins their academic career by building a foundation in traditional art and then focusing on advanced courses in the art of animated storytelling. Students are instructed in the core art courses – including drawing, design fundamentals, figure drawing and sculpture - before moving on to advanced 2D and 3D animation principles. This major includes courses in storyboarding, sound, and writing as well as art and design. Upon the completion of the major, students will have created an individual or collaborative project that reflects their creative and technical skills. Graduates may find employment with animation studios, film studios, the gaming industry, music industry, technical simulations in the scientific industries, and within advertising agencies. Animation majors must earn a final grade of C- or better in all ARTD courses.
