Art-3-D Animation Certificate
(Formerly: Art-Computer Graphics Certificate)
The certificate program in 3-D animation, addresses the
fundamental requirements that 3-D artists are expected to know for entry-level
positions in film, broadcast television, in publishing, and video game
companies, as well as product, industrial and architectural design. The course
work gives training in using 3-D animation and modeling techniques for animated
features, live-action special effects, and television commercials. Employment
opportunities exist with small and large companies serving a broad spectrum of
clientele in the delivery of still, animated and interactive presentations for
print, video, and the internet. The certificate program is designed to develop
