There aren’t many undergraduate animation programs within comfortably-sized, Christian liberal arts universities but Huntington University fits just that bill. Huntington’s robust and fast-growing Digital Media Arts department houses its Animation program- offered at both of the university’s two campuses in Indiana and Arizona. Striving to produce artists who not only find success in their animation careers but also in their spiritual and citizen lives, H.U.

Readers of ACR are well acquainted with the many merits of an SCAD (Savannah College of Art & Design) education. Internationally recognized for its foundational approach to the creative arts and industries, the university continually produces graduates of the highest calibre that are ready to stake their claim in their respective fields from day one.

Many animation programs with a focus on art fundamentals come with low acceptance rates and high tuition rates on private school campuses. But at California State University Long Beach, the study of animation can be pursued by determined artists from diverse backgrounds with broad interests.  Culminating in a BFA, animation students at CSULB gain a thorough education in the arts while working closely with other programs of study and leveraging the greater LA-area animation industry.
