动画需要动画，电影，运动图形，游戏和技术的理论和艺术实践。通过集中传统媒体和数字工具，集中精力学习动画和交互式媒体的学生。强调在课堂上对个人作品的批判以及对动画和互动艺术的历史的考察，以建立一个框架，学生可以从该框架开始作为动画师和互动艺术家的道路。动画高级课程融合了3D计算机动画和数字合成方面的技术密集型经验，以及对新兴实践的探索，包括实时应用程序和交互式动画。在动画学习的整个过程中，都鼓励并期望学生通过探索媒体和对作品进行批判来发展自己的艺术声音。完成课程的学生有机会在课程结束时单独或作为小组的一部分
Animation calls upon the theories and artistic practices of animation, cinema, motion graphics, games and technology. Students study animation as makers, taking a sequence of hands-on production courses through traditional media and digital tools, investigating the history of animation, and screening of contemporary animation artists. Throughout the Animation program of study, students are encouraged and expected to develop their own artistic voice through exploration of the media and critical review of their work. In-class critiques of personal work are emphasized for the development of a framework from which students can begin their path as artists in the animation field. Advanced level courses in animation incorporate technically intensive experiences in 2D and 3D digital, hand-crafted, interactive, and hybrid processes, as well as exploration of emerging practices within the animation field. Students completing the concentration have the opportunity to produce a fully developed work at the culmination of the program, either individually or as part of a team.
