The 3D Animation and Game Design program provides intensive hands-on courses by seasoned educators and industry professionals. With small class sizes (usually 14 or less), students engage with knowledgeable faculty who not only continue to engage with industry, but are committed to student success. Students receive personalized support and create a portfolio to prepare them for future careers.

Portfolio Development

The 3D Animation and Game industries are highly competitive and demanding.
Finding work in this environment requires a strong portfolio that can compete in a national and international arena.

• There is no Portfolio Review for incoming freshmen. If it’s your first semester in college, we welcome everyone – regardless of your high school experience.
• Understanding this reality, the ANGD department strives to help students find if they will be successful in this major as early as possible in their academic career.
• The first year of the program provides an overview of all the areas of 3D Animation and Game Design.
• After the completion of the first year, all ANGD students are required to submit a portfolio of the work completed in the ANGD first-year core.
• Only upon passage of this Portfolio Review can students enter the Animation or Modeling concentrations and continue study within the major.
• Portfolios are reviewed at the end of the first year.
• All transfer students who wish to start in the Modeling or Animation concentration classes must submit a portfolio at the scheduled portfolio review time the spring semester before they plan to attend.
• Since the number of applicants will vary each year, passing grades in first-year classes will not guarantee admission to the major.
• Students who do not pass the portfolio review may resubmit a portfolio the following year. Students who plan on resubmitting a portfolio for review should retake some or all of the first-year courses to enhance their portfolio.
• Please note that acceptance to the University does not guarantee admission to the 3D Animation and Game Design major.
