Animation and Visual Effects Minor
Learn more at the Department Page
The Animation & Visual Effects minor is designed to benefit students across schools and disciplines. The growing world of animation, visual effects, and motion design influences and interacts with many other areas of study where time-based visual communication is utilized. This minor serves students who are interested in learning industry structure, project development, production methods, creative techniques, software tools and other key aspects of animation and VFX production. While practice and execution are fundamental to these technical arts, courses in the minor also emphasize conceptual, aesthetic, and historical perspectives to give students context, depth, and breadth to their study.
