The MFA advantage
An MFA is a rare, beautiful luxury. A multi-year block of time dedicated solely to your creative growth.
When you earn an MFA in animation, your terminal degree signals a high level of creative, technical and intellectual mastery. Animation is used far beyond traditional film and television.
This degree will open doors to professional practice in many sectors, including: games and interactive media, education and science, advertising and marketing, and even architecture and engineering.
