Animation Minor
Students minoring in animation will build a foundation in animation, studio, and new media practices while enhancing their studies with opportunities to explore creative disciplines in game design, new media, and digital communications.
Complement your major with a minor in animation
Animation is a growing field with opportunities in multiple industries. Adding a minor in animation to your major can expand your skills and make you more marketable for jobs and graduate school. The animation minor complements majors in art, communication, computer science, game development, graphic design, photography, public relations, or theatre.
Animation courses that prepare you for the evolving digital world
Within this minor, students may choose to pursue coursework that emphasizes on 2D or 3D design while still providing a foundation in both forms of animation and new media (video art, sound art, light, computational and interactive art). Students also have the option to enhance their new media development skills with computer science courses.
