Our undergraduate Animation program offers three concentrations: 3D Animation, 2D Animation, Video Game Animation. Upon entry, animation majors select one of these concentrations to be their area of focus. As they work their way through the curriculum students have the option to switch concentrations, should they decide to do so. Anyone interested in doing double concentrations should meet with the Program Director to determine if that is possible on an individual basis.
