Best Animation Programs in Kentucky

Written by ACR Staff. Last updated August 03, 2017.

An animation school with a large student body can be a good thing for many students and a bad thing when it comes to official rankings. Some students believe that the more people enrolled in school, the more popular it is, while some college ranking agencies this might have more to do with “lack of student selectivity” than popularity. In addition to student selectivity, ranking agencies consider factors such as faculty resources (student-faculty ratio), program offerings (how many and variety), financial resources, graduation and retention rates, and peer assessment.

In the state of Kentucky, there are more than 75 accredited colleges and universities. Many of these schools scored high in the areas listed. Many of these high-scoring schools now offer animation programs, thanks to an increase in demand for top-tier talent across the country. Kentucky’s animation schools can be found all over the state in big cities such as Louisville (pop. 597,337) and even in small cities such as Murray (pop. 17,741). 

Just a few of the state’s best programs for animators are offered at the University of Kentucky (Lexington) and Murray State University. Browse through our list below to review other animation school programs in Kentucky and what they have to offer.
