01 — Curriculum
Six disciplines.
One pipeline.
Digital Media Animation & Design covers the whole production chain — so you graduate knowing where your piece fits and how to take a project from concept to delivery.
2D Animation & Digital Video
Motion from the ground up: 2D animation and digital video, where timing, movement and storytelling first click.
3D Animation & Modeling
Model it, rig it, light it, render it. Three studio courses take you from your first primitive to a finished animated shot.
Texturing
The surface craft — building the materials, color and detail that make a 3D model read as metal, skin, stone or glass.
Motion Graphics
Two courses in broadcast and film titling, animated identity and kinetic type — the work that opens every show you watch.
Digital Filmmaking & V/FX
Shoot it, cut it, and add the effects that were never on set — the full live-action and post-production pipeline.
Tonkawa, Oklahoma
A campus you can cross in ten minutes, an hour from Oklahoma City.
02 — Outcomes
A career that
is actually fun.
Nobody grows up dreaming about spreadsheets. Graduates go into studios, agencies, broadcast and production houses — making the animation, the effects, the edit, the spot.
