Digital Art & Design - Animation, M.F.A.
The business and the creative capabilities of animation have expanded beyond all imagining since the founders of Pixar first got their start at NYIT in the 1970s.
In our Digital Art & Design - Animation M.F.A. program, you’ll take courses that emphasize creative thinking; character, storytelling, and storyboard development; digital compositing; and special effects experimentation. In the program, you’ll develop a competitive portfolio of innovative computer animation that reflects your personal style. For example:
- Those who wish to pursue a career in commercial computer animation create a suite of animated shorts geared toward a commercial audience, with strong characters and well-defined stories.
- Those who prefer to forge a self-directed career in creative animation create a portfolio of work that is self-expressive and ready to be exhibited in galleries or presented at festivals.
