Bachelor of Arts in Animation

Course Description

A Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Animation is a three-year undergraduate degree program that focuses on the study of animation as an art form. The program typically covers a wide range of animation techniques and technologies, including 2D and 3D animation, stop-motion animation, and computer-generated animation. A BA in Animation typically includes courses in animation history, animation production, character design, storyboarding, visual effects, and sound design. The program also often requires students to complete a capstone project or a thesis in their final year. In addition to animation-specific courses, the BA in Animation program may also include general education courses in areas such as English, math, and social sciences.

The purpose of the program is to prepare students for a career in the animation industry or for further study in a related field. Graduates of the program may find employment as animators, storyboard artists, or animation directors in film, television, video games, or other interactive media.
