Program Description
The 3D Graphics & Animation program at CU Denver, recognized as one of the top 25 national programs by Animation Career Review, trains students to be 3D digital content creators—in film, entertainment, medicine, and science. Students graduate with instruction in arts aesthetics, critical thinking, and communication skills while providing an intense level of expertise, instruction, and immersion in digital 3D animation and graphics.
The program develops creative professionals by training students in the innovative, state-of-the-art, Digital Animation Center (DAC). The DAC provides the labs and technological core of the academic program, while creating a community of student collaboration. Most professional digital content creators work with as many as 500 other artists; the DAC is one of the only college level programs preparing students for this environment, focusing on individual artistry while simultaneously fulfilling the broader vision of a final production. Sophisticated tools support visualization, modeling, representation of complex data, simulation, and the manipulation of virtual reality. Students who learn in the DAC graduate with an understanding of advanced technology and software ready to work in cutting-edge studios.
