Bachelor in Animation

Animation is a medium that moves, inspires, entertains, and educates audiences. The CIA Animation department teaches students how to produce professional content to support their vision, with an emphasis on storytelling.

Courses include 2D Animation, 3D Animation, Motion Graphics, Storyboarding & Sequential Art, Acting, Human and Animal Anatomy, and many more. Students are introduced to many different skill-based classes early in the major. They spend time studying the human figure, animal anatomy, 3D modeling, sculpting, and 3D animation while mastering traditional 2D animation principles. During their sophomore year, students learn to design characters, study color, storyboarding, and film analysis. There are also field trips to the zoo and natural history museum for research and inspiration.
