Overview

The Animation emphasis within College for Creative Studies’s Entertainment Arts program explores both the theoretical and the technical sides of character performance, design, story and world-building in a mixed visual medium. Through courses and mentorships with faculty—many of whom currently work in the animation industry—you’ll build an understanding of the production pipeline for feature and television animation, games and advertising.

In Animation, you have the flexibility to customize your curriculum in a specific track like visual development, traditional animation, CG, stop motion, storyboarding, fabrication, pitching, character acting or narrative, among other specialties.

For Students

CCS’s Entertainment Arts alumni have touched every major industry giant and startup, both nationally and internationally. From Burbank to Berlin, and here in Detroit, Animation graduates pursue multiple avenues upon graduation.
