Bachelor in - Animation

Animation is everywhere. You see it in film and TV, advertising, gaming, motion graphics and scientific presentations. The opportunities are there. The only question you need to answer is, “How do I want to put my animation skills to use?”

In our animation concentration, part of the cinematic arts major, our hands-on approach to teaching the craft allows you to create animation right away, even if you don’t have any experience in the field. And we’ll provide you with the industry-standard software – including Autodesk Maya, Toon Boom, the Adobe Creative Suite and Dragonframe – to bring your stories to life in a variety of animated mediums, from 3D and 2D computer animation to traditional hand-drawn and stop-motion techniques.

Upon graduating, you’ll be prepared to take advantage of a promising job market with endless opportunities. In fact, the employment trend for animation and multimedia artists in Oregon, Washington and California is expected to grow more than 25% over the next 10 years.

In no time at all, you’ll be ready for a career as an animator, 3D modeller, compositor, roto artist, layout artist, production assistant, CG artist, storyboard artist, and animation director. Ready to find out where this animation program can take you?
