The Computer Art and Animation program offers an Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree in Computer Animation that prepares students for exciting careers in game design and development, special effects in feature films, and product design & visualization.

Computer Animation students learn to use MAYA, state-of-the-art 3D animation software. MAYA was instrumental in creating such feature films as "Lord of the Rings", "Final Fantasy", "Spiderman", and "Ice Age". Training in the MAYA software includes animation, 3D modeling, rendering, and dynamics (special effects).

The use of MAYA is reinforced with a focus and dedication on artistic skills and the creative process. A foundation in the visual arts is the backbone of our program.
