Technical Animation and Spatial Graphics

Learn to animate from professionals who have been there (and still are). Computer Graphics Technology’s Animation and Spatial Graphics plan of study provides a comprehensive, traditional and technical, education that prepares students for a variety of 3D animation careers. Students learn from instructors who have both professional experience working at major studios, and are passionate about teaching and your success. As a Computer Graphics Technology animation student, you will learn both the technical skills and conceptual theory that mirror industry standards.

The Technical Animation and Spatial Graphics plan requires students to successfully complete 120 credit hours. All CGT courses must be completed with a grade of C- or better.

"The animation track is perfect for any student interested in motion-based storytelling. Whether you’re pursuing 2D animation or the ever-growing world of 3D rendering, this concentration will provide you with the skills needed to push boundaries in the diverse field of animation."

- Joshua Meister, Student
