Best Animation Programs in Montana

Written by ACR Staff. Last updated January 22, 2013.

Best Animation Programs in Montana

Animation is one of the fastest growing fields in the entertainment industry and it is quickly becoming a part of other industries such as medicine, criminal justice, engineering, and science. This has created a demand for animators with special skills. As a result, aspiring animators have more options for training than ever before. While the usual route used to be to enroll in a program at an art and design school, this is no longer case. Animators may earn a degree at a traditional college, university, technical school, or specialty school. These schools have developed a wide variety of animation programs to meet the demand for top-tier talent. 

While some of the best animation school programs can be found in California, New York, and Florida, some students may choose to go off-the-beaten-path. You can now find animation programs in places such as North Dakota, Alabama, and Montana.
What’s even better for these folks is, many of the lesser-known schools often score points with college ranking agencies. This means, you can still find some of the best schools in obscure places.

Most college ranking agencies create “best of” lists based on peer assessment, class size, student selectivity, number of program offerings, faculty resources, graduation and retention rates, and financial resources. These are just some of the factors college ranking agencies use to determine which schools deserve a spot on the list. 

In Montana, you will find a handful of schools that made the cut. Browse through our list below to review some of the best animation school programs in Montana and what they have to offer.
