Media Arts & Animation (BA)
At The Art Institute of Tucson, students can put a career in computer animation into motion. The 12-quarter (36-month) bachelor's degree program offers students an opportunity to learn from seasoned educators and animation professionals and become successful in this exciting and demanding field.
Students master drawing, design, and image manipulation techniques; they learn how to create traditional animation and use different computer animation software programs to produce complete animated products. Students build 3-D models, edit and modify video, and composite 2-D and 3-D animation.
Graduates leave the school with a comprehensive portfolio of their work and are prepared to seek entry-level jobs with major corporations, TV stations and networks, cable TV firms, film studios, and commercial design/production companies. They can become production, broadcast graphic, animation, or postproduction artists.
