Bachelor of Fine Arts in Digital Media and Design - Motion Design and Animation

Our nationally ranked B.F.A. in Motion Design & Animation program (Storrs/Stamford) combines design, 2D/3D animation, and video to create content for entertainment, visualization, marketing, communications, education, and more. Motion can clarify and enrich our understanding of stories, messages, and experiences, as well as deliver impact to advertising, social media, tv, video, film, sports, and educational media. As screens continue to proliferate, motion is becoming an important part of our everyday experiences in UI/UX, architecture, live performance, wearables, and emerging platforms like AR and VR. And our motion artists are in high demand because they are skilled in conceptual thinking, problem solving, and content creation.
