The Master of Art + Design (Animation) educates artists/designers skilled in drawing, time-based imaging, interactive media and digital imaging to use the computer effectively in synthesizing and augmenting these skill sets. The demand for animators is increasing as media becomes more interactive and as mobile devices are empowered to deliver rich media. The animation concentration provides an intensive level of experience, instruction, and immersion in digital 3-D animation, video and graphics. Emphasis is placed on the combination of digital processes with traditional hand processes in the conception and production of digital images, interactive experiences and animated products. A wide range of development and presentation formats are open for exploration. Students in this program are exposed to state of the art software, equipment and resources within the Advanced Media Lab.

Please read the Graduate Handbook for a general overview of the program.
