Bachelor of Fine Arts in Animation, Film, Photography and Motion Design

Program Overview

The BFA in Animation, Film, Photography and Motion Design (AFP&MD) teaches all aspects of the production process. AFP&MD classes are structured around experiential learning, providing students with extensive hands-on practice with individual and collaborative projects that reflect industry standards.

AFP&MD encourages students to explore their passions and interests by allowing certain projects to be customized to their individual career goals. AFP&MD cultivates a positive learning environment for experimentation and exploration with an emphasis on the study of time, motion and light in regards to various narrative, non-fiction, and experimental entertainment fields. Students develop into critical, analytical, and independent problem solvers, thinkers, and creators.

The program offers cross-disciplinary coursework, which emphasizes the relationships between Animation, Film, and Photography so that each course enhances the others. The program begins with foundation courses in 2D Design, Sculpture, Drawing, and Art History, which provides solid skills and historical context to their major. As early as Freshman year, students create short films, animations, and photographs.

Travel opportunities and field trips are available. AFP&MD students partnered with the CMU Biology students to study and photograph butterflies in Peru, which culminated in a student photo and video exhibit at the CMU Art Gallery
