The concentration in Animation, Visualization, and 3D Interactivity puts the power of creative technologies in your hands to bring your ideas to life, visualize novel solutions, analyze scenarios across multiple disciplines, express your creativity with new immersive media, and develop experiences for a new economy.
This requires a creative, innovative and entrepreneurial professional who produces interactive, exciting and compelling audiovisual digital content. 3D animation, visualization and interactivity provide the student with a collection of skills (“skills-set”) to insert themselves into multiple employment and business self-management roles in various disciplines, according to their interests and expertise.
