The animation curriculum provides students with a foundation in the processes involved in developing animated films from initial planning through shooting and post-production.
Students work in a variety of techniques, including cel, model, computer and effects animation.
Advanced animation study can emphasize either film animation or computer animation. The emphasis in animation is a part of the undergraduate cinema major with specific course requirements. Students accepted into the animation emphasis also take required courses in cinema and electives in cinema and related disciplines. Students may apply to the animation emphasis after completing prerequisite courses for cinema majors. Enrollment in all animation courses requires consent of instructor.
