BFA Digital Media

Animation Program Requirements

Our Mission

Students in Digital Media learn to communicate and tell stories through motion, art, and design for games, films, and Web. Areas of concentration include games, motion graphics, concept art, animation, modeling, and visual effects. Students learn real-world skills from leading designers, artists, and entrepreneurs. The primary goal is to create problem solvers who strike a balance between traditional art and technology, and between individual vision and teamwork. With a fundamental understanding of digital tools and their creative applications, graduates meet the demands of a diverse and expanding job market in visual storytelling.

Program Learning Outcomes:

Students in the Digital Media Department will:

  • Identify and apply strategies to improve and succeed no matter what your initial skills are.
  • Solve problems and learn from creative risks by using people skills, design principles, and processes.
  • Build a strong foundation in all aspects of design and production for storytelling in motion.
  • Use inspiration in fields outside of digital media such as poetry, science, music, astronomy, history, and dance.
  • Develop a professional commitment to your field, your work, and yourselves; prepare to be members and leaders in your profession; and learn how to act both as individuals and as team members to support the whole.
  • Learn to continually challenge yourselves, laugh often, and fully enjoy what you are doing.
  • Value continuous learning, experimentation, and both professional and personal growth.
  • Demonstrate an attitude of openness so that you seek new and unusual opportunities to learn and create.
