Howard University’s (HU) Department of Art is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD). With nine areas of concentration, programs in the Department lead to a BA, BFA, or MFA degree. Minors are also available.
The Electronic Studio Concentration is for students seeking careers in 2D or 3D animation, motion graphics, VR/AR, product design, UII/UX, modeling, or VFX. Leading to a BFA, MFA, or Minor, the Electronic Studio Program requires a number of electives, allowing students to choose coursework from other areas in the Department.
Course examples for the program include 2D and 3D Concepts, Drawing, Desktop Web Publishing, Presentation Graphics, 2D Animation, 3D Modeling & Animation, Multimedia, and Image Processing. During the final year of the HU Electronic Studio Program, students will complete Independent Study (two courses), the Senior Workshop Capstone courses (two), and the Internship in Digital Media Arts.
Graduate students will take many of the same courses as well as a number of workshops, independent study, and four Thesis courses.
Graduates of the Howard University Electronic Studio Program are prepared for positions in animation, TV and film, advertising, web design, game design, visual effects, graphic design, or any other field that utilizes animation.
