Animation & Game Arts
If the idea of creating entire worlds for people to play in, get lost in and be entertained by sounds like a dream job to you, this is your major.
You’ll learn a variety of industry-relevant knowledge, including: animation and storyboarding, hand and digital drawing, development of 2D character design and 3D environments, gaming strategies, proficiency in the use of art-making software and technology, and critical analysis of interactive culture. And the places you’ll go? Literally endless.
“I knew Animation & Game Arts was meant for me because I am a huge nerd. I love Star Wars, Steven Universe, My Hero Academia, and all sorts of different nerdy things, and there are tons of people in AGA who share the same interests. After I made my first short film in sophomore year—there was something about seeing my own characters come to life that excited me.”
