What general animation covers

  • Animation principles and timing
  • Several techniques side by side (drawn, digital, 3D, stop motion)
  • Storyboarding, storytelling and pre-production
  • A graduation film or portfolio project

This is a practical field: expect studio work, software use and collaborative projects. Software and equipment are recorded on each profile only where the school publishes them.

Dedicated degree, official pathway or broader degree

  • Dedicated degree (88): The degree itself is in this field.
  • Official pathway (15): An officially named concentration, pathway or major inside the degree.
  • Broader degree with animation (28): A broader degree in which animation is a central, verified component of the official title or curriculum.

A single module is never counted as a pathway or as substantial curriculum. One program can appear under several specializations; it is still one listing.

Admissions and portfolios

General animation programs usually ask for a portfolio of drawing and creative work; some also ask for animation samples or a home assignment. Requirements differ by school.

Requirements are recorded item by item on each program profile — required, optional, pathway-specific or explicitly not required. If a school does not publish its policy, we say so. Admissions and portfolio guide
