Overview

Animation is the art of visual storytelling using time-based media and a combination of 2D, 3D and stop-motion. Animation students develop characters and worlds and produce their own films. The goal of Woodbury’s Animation program is to help students develop their creative voices and prepare them for a successful career in professional animation production.

Why Woodbury Animation?

The Animation program from Woodbury University is ranked among the top animation schools in Animation Career Review’s 2020 list of Top 50 Animation Schools and Colleges in the U.S. Classes are taught in a studio environment where students learn 2D, 3D and stop-motion animation techniques.

Woodbury is located within 20 minutes of more than 15 animation studios where students often do internships – a requirement for each of Woodbury’s academic programs.

Animation faculty are industry professionals who work in the local animation and visual effects industries. Students have the opportunity to work one-on-one with instructors in small studio classes.

There are career opportunities in feature film, TV, commercials, ride films, games, websites, wearable tech, medical and architectural visualization – and – with streaming platforms such as Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime constantly looking for new content, there are more opportunities than ever!
